Reviews

“Ron Bishop has written a very important and long overdue book about mental illness and professional athletes. Bishop points out that journalists and society have long denied the human tragedy of athletes who struggle with mental illness. As someone who has long suffered from mental illness, this book left me with the question, what if? If Bishop’s book broadens our perspective about mental illness, it will have accomplished something so few books have done,” -- Chris Lamb, Indiana University-Indianapolis, author of Conspiracy of Silence: Sportswriters and the Long Campaign to Desegregate Baseball
