You're going through a hard time right now, but there is a reason for it, and it's hard to see when you're in the moment and you're going through just the worst time. There's a plan out there that's greater for you, and you just don't see it yet. Welcome to The Giving Game, the only show where professional athletes are banned from talking about their sport. That's right, no stats, no game recaps, no media-trained answers. I'm your host, Sophie Weitzel, and every episode, we find out who these athletes actually are when the cameras stop rolling and the jerseys come off.
