Episode 70 of The Mental Game features Walt Norley, the founder, chairman and CEO of OnBalance.

Why Norley on The Mental Game?

Norley is a former NCAA Division I quarterback — who was initially recruited to Ohio State by then-assistant coach Nick Saban. His football career was riddled by injury, and he’s since immersed himself in an uber-successful business career.

Norley, like millions, has managed bipolar disorder. With that and his passion for sports in mind, he founded OnBalance, a software platform partners with collegiate athletic departments and pro sports teams to manage mental health and well-being of athletes.

The drive behind the platform is two-fold: to help save as many lives as possible and to de-stigmatize mental health for those suffering in silence.

Saban’s Alabama football program was among the first NCAA programs to join, and OnBalance is pushing mental health care to the next generation.

On The Mental Game, Norley dives deep on his story and that of OnBalance.

Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
