???"No matter how dark a situation may be, only light can conquer it."?– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ?? At the NFL Alumni Association of Southern California, we know that challenges—on the field and in life—can feel overwhelming at times. But Dr. King’s wisdom reminds us that it’s our mindset, grounded in hope and positivity, that guides us toward brighter days. By embracing a mindset of resilience and light, we can overcome any obstacle. Through our commitment to mental wellness, mentoring, and community support, we strive to empower others to believe in their ability to rise above challenges and create lasting change. Together, let’s inspire hope, shift mindsets, and light the way forward. ???? #MLKDay #MindsetMatters #MentalWellness #BeTheLight #Mindset #Resilience #NFLAlumniSoCal #NFLASoCal #NFLAlumni #Community #Hope

We are heartbroken and in disbelief. These fires have ravaged our homes, our neighborhoods, and our beloved communities. The loss of life and the devastation faced by so many in the Los Angeles area is overwhelming. ??

Good friends are good for your health. 2. Talk More, Listen More Check in with someone or open up. It can be lifesaving. 3. Know Your Numbers At 50 (or 45 for higher-risk groups), talk to your doctor about prostate cancer. 4. Know Thy Nuts Learn what’s normal for you—if something feels off, see a doctor. 5. Move More Daily activity is key. Do what makes you feel good!
