Josh Green: Grief, depression and opportunity

Josh Green is an athlete with an incredible story. Now aiming for a shot at the big time in the NFL, Josh started pursuing Aussie Rules football. But at 17, Josh's mum passed away after succumbing to a brain tumour. He then battled depressed and quit footy.
Josh then took up basketball and got the opportunity to play in the US college system. But he still didn't quite find his fit. Josh gave up basketball on a whim to pursue an NFL career, creating plenty of interest as a fast and strong punter, and helping is college, Laney in California, win a championship. His first season is documented in the Last Season U show on Netflix.
Josh shares his amazing story, insights and lessons learned on the journey so far.
