If you didn’t know, there is a former Ohio State athlete that is all over your screen on CNN, Phil Mattingly.
The former Buckeye infielder has carved out an extremely successful broadcasting career on the news network and Mattingly had an opportunity to return to his collegiate stomping grounds and speak with another former Ohio State athlete, Harry Miller.

In a segment called “Champions for Change,” Mattingly sits down with Miller along with head coach, Ryan Day, and Ohio State Sport Psychologist, Charron Sumler. Watch their touching segment below.
"It's an experience that a lot of people have. I'm a high-achieving depressed person. I have a 4.0… I was successful, but I was not healthy."
