Kelsey Plum is her own words - WARNING THIS GETS DARK

Kelsey Plum tells her story from childhood and how she was doubted. She found success but was still empty and went to a very dark place. Plum talks about how she came out of it and how an injury helped her rebuild her mind set.

This prove that we never know what someone going through. Everyone deals with things different.

[@nikie224]

I truly appreciate her openness and honesty and am so happy to hear that she's in a much better space. God is good!

[@Thecermit]

This is why she's my favorite basketball player of all tome. I went through an experience very similar to Kelsey and the fact that I knew she was going through the same time I was made me relate to her so much. I will always root and cheer for this woman on the court and in life!

[@samueluseumalo5510]

Kelsey you are A Positive Roll Model and Mentor. You always Stayed Focused and moved Forward. A REAL Star!!!!

*"Be a Dog!"* "I don't get Tired, I can go All Day" This young lady is Amazing! Excellent truth and Realization of herself! Fantastic Show!

[@jeromedanielson4422]

Insightful, without spiritual strength, humans are empty husks. Telling the TRUTH about her life deserves great respect.

[@cookieb5029]

You're story will assist so many people that it doesn't matter your status in life we all struggle with certain issues. So happy for you to fight through your battles and see the sun arise again daily . TU for your honesty 🙏❤️

[@GunnerAl9]

I have followed this player's sporting career since High School, college and the NBA and I never had any idea she was going through these mental struggles, but her story of how she overcame this is amazing. Although she almost diagnosed and solved her own problems, she should have asked for help and calling random people on the phone was a great start. I'm truly happy for her, her family and her team that her life is now more balanced besides just sports.

[@back2sports988]

Just goes to show you never know what people are thinking or how they are really going as she looks so happy on draft day but she was actually miserable.

[@Defender78]

@@back2sports988 i follow the W to a degree, and I was surprised to notice that Kelsey had accolades galore and also the highest scoring total in NCAAW (25 ppg), but her first few seasons the Stars/Aces were good at 9 PPG, but not as high as was expected from the scoringest college female (from a D1 School too) and #1 WNBA selection. I wondered, at the time, if Kelsey had stumbled in transition from college to the pros because of personal issues - it is clear now she had things going on in her psyche that chipped away at her. Her last two seasons have been 15 and 20 PPG, darn fine numbers (that's like scoring 19-24 ppg the NBA) so Kelsey has found herself and also her groove in a way she couldnt as a #1 pick in her first three seasons.

[@MarieDBrown]

This is an awesome lesson on strength through vulnerability. God bless KP on her mental wellness journey. May she continue to give herself grace and pursue healing each and every day ❤.

Congratulations to Darren & Kelsey 💐🧡

Congratulations on your wedding! Thanks for sharing. Your an inspiration!

[@chadspencer9302]

Thank you for sharing. I’m a coach. Coached for 30 years at all levels except Professional. I go thru this something. I put so much pressure on myself because I don’t want to let my school the community down. I think making everyone happy will make me happy. It’s hard to not get wrapped up in it. I’ve lost who I really am. I go months at a time with just a few hours asleep a night. Thanks for sharing again. Your my favorite player.

[@surferjason1006]

Thanks for sharing this episode sir🤙🏽. Life can definitely be challenging but staying true to yourself and moving forward in a positive way can only direct you to happiness eventually.

[@percytillman6030]

Known her family for years since she was tiny. Always appreciated interactions with them. She's a credit to her family. Keep up the great work KP! See you when you visit home!

[@shoofly529]

Imagine being in a place where getting drafted to a professional sports team is the lowest point of your life & suffering an Achilles injury turns into one of your highest. So happy she's in s good place now esp. because Kelsey realizes that she has to put the work in daily to stay there as well as to get to an even better place. Thank you Kelsey for sharing as well as Back 2 Sports.

[@santinamarie4699]

Really enjoyed this video. What an amazing athlete! I have also had a lot of trouble with overstimulation and being overwhelmed. A lot of the times it goes along with an infj personality. But that personality type can also grow and learn quite readily

[@back2sports988]

If they have a kid it will be a great athlete

[@hoopaholicstickum]

As a former “hoopaholic” her story is not all that typical but not unheard of. IMO this is mostly in part due to the amount of time and effort (she even acknowledges it) put in to be the best you can be in a particular athletic sport…. And this is where some go off track, not having a base view of life and involvement in other aspects of life. One always needs other outlets to keep a perspective and not become consumed with THE SPORT. One always must keep in mind… one can’t play the sport for ever. There will come a time you have to retire. Playing down was never in my plan… once I saw I was not at the top anymore in games… I knew… then there were the comments signaling it’s coming….. as we were near death in the locker room after a great comeback win… the other team complained about being beat by a bunch of “old guys” who shot the lights out…. We laughed but knew it was near the end. Game over… life goes on….

[@tom7471]

There is only reality in the present moment. All other 'moments' are not even real, though we love and hate to think they are. I wish Ms Plum all the best in her present moments...

[@written12]

Very well done. I certainly have much more compassion for her.

[@MrMonoyo]

This take on her life is really well done. She is an inspiring strong and courageous woman. On the art side of things..., the Black and White segments reallt hit the spot for me; they have a certain 'mellow' intensity to them. "The dewling space of the void within".

[@back2sports988]

Thank you very much. Funny this video. I started putting together but could not make it work. Then about a month later came back to it. When came back to it, it was so clear and knew it worked. When I posted it, it did not getting many views but has slowly started to grow. I just love how it shows how people can seem to have it all but can be struggling on the inside.

[@MrMonoyo]

@@back2sports988 You did a good job and Kelsey Blum is an exceptional human being.

First seen her play at u dub, became an instant fan. And hope she plays for the storm someday. Wish nothing but the best for her. Such a strong individual

[@back2sports988]

Don't see her going back to storm in the near term.

[@tshannon237]

Keep battling for your mental health a lot of us are out there

[@deltonkillen8024]

Every athlete in whatever sport needs to see this. If a player has a passion for a sport, they absolutely need a support structure. But they need to be rooted in the realization that one small injury can bring it all down. That they need to have a goal for their lives other than sports. God can provide all answers if you just listen.

She is definitely a Hall of Famer

[@christopherwillams5408]

Locally and Local wide the sentiment remains alive about success and the value of failure. As recent as were Im from four 1000 point career scorers. Accomplished at one high school over the same five years. The households were the backbone we hear it in Kelseys voice and she easily translated back to how this all started I even use some of her invert spin moves while exercising where it doesn't appear imbalanced and balanced,.it's a message and I GOT IT AND MY brothers named Kelsey. New season WNBA!! Lol GO KELSEY PLUMB..

[@firstlast8731]

True champion. Both on and off the court.

[@alexwilliams0904]

I understand what you been going through and it hard to what a celebrity have that moment when a older you and younger you have that type of problem, getting stalked and pushing over and have that type of injuries, but it not your fault, and I everybody about life you did your part of the with basketball, She serve your time as basketball College deserter and making your family proud, live an honest life, try to make your past no to show up, but people realized that she was a human being trying to fit in and get the opportunity that you give me the tool to survive and gain respect so why this world is trippin Kelsey up and I know what is feel like to but singlehandedly leftout. It was hard because as Captain of point guard of basketball and being drafted it was a slap to the face, but she was crying and never forget about those years in high school and college being harass and pick on staked, to her mind enough is enough.

Her senior number were crazy!

[@xxphactor]

I'm glad that I watched the whole thing. I was thinking, "This woman is living her dream, yet she is somehow a victim". There are people in this world where the whole system is designed to make sure they fail and they keep overcoming. One thing I have seen in regards to suicide is that, that person holds the threat of it over the one's who love them. But once you gone, you are gone and guess what? You will be just a memory, then a distant memory, and then forgotten. Life is like that.

[@newworldgrover8588]

[@donaldmclaughlin1832]

If you want to kill yourself because of some mental turmoil, stop and evaluate who you care about. Even if you have the courage to kill yourself, it's very selfish. When one person seems to feel they can't take it anymore,usually they tear down those people that cared for them and for an undetermined time. Sometimes people never recover from loss of loved ones.
