Gentlemen, 4 years ago I passed out at a game Gunslingers/Scorpions and didn’t know why. Over the past few years when I was at my best (in high stress situations) I have been feeling light headed, nauseous, and/or having panic attack or have feeling of vertigo.
During this week and a half dealing with the passing of my uncle, coaching, working, and selling my house I passed out at the family gathering on Saturday and was forced to see a specialist to see what is going on and I was diagnosed with Acute Stress Disorder or ASD.
Years of dealing with high stress jobs, coaching, playing and just day to day life and not venting has lead to my body not processing stress the correct way so I do one of two things now, I get light headed and black out, or my heart with race leading to panic attacks/anxiety and that puts wear and tear on my heart.
With that being said I was informed to stop coaching lose the stress in my life or start planning for my funeral. Im sad to announce I will not be able to put go through with the season this year.
Putting the team back together was a promise I made to Ronald Green before he passed away but this is one promise I can’t keep. I am truly sorry and this is tearing me apart because of all the hard work we put in and now I have to say good bye to something I love doing as well as 40+ guys that joined this family from past Gunslingers as well as other teams.
I hope you all understand but I am too young to willingly put myself in a coffin. Much luv to guys like Hot 4 hands, Milo, Buffy, Butler, TJ, Henny Mike, and I know im missing alot other but this is one of the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.
