Ep 109 Ben Frederick returns to talk Mental Health and the Small Monsters Project

Cycle Jerks Podcast

Good time talking with Pro Cyclist Ben Frederick. Ben has had a wild ride as a professional cyclist including racing at the highest level of Cyclocross both before and after suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI and the associated Physical and Mental health issues that can come with it can be devastating. We do a bit of a deep dive into eating disorders with cyclists and his own personal battles to get his life together after the crash. It was a much longer road than you might expect. We touch on that as well as his foundation the Small Monsters Project. A Non-Profit providing education and resources for TBI and to reduce the stigma around Mental Health. www.smallmonstersproject.com
