Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs displayed both team spirit and personal strength by attending his aunt’s funeral service in Mississippi on the morning of their Week 4 game against Baltimore Ravens – even managing to catch a flight back just under an hour before game start time at 3:25 pm CT! It was truly inspiring!
As his teammates noticed his dedication in spite of personal tragedy, they rallied behind him as an act of solidarity from one to another. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed it best: ”We were praying for Chris and love him… It inspired guys to step up their play even harder for him… This speaks to our brotherhood in locker room.” This quote perfectly captures how closely knit this team has become over time.
Chris Jones spoke openly and freely about how football helps him during these trying times, explaining that “football is my way out – an escape from reality and what’s actually taking place. For him it was like being back at school again!” This example serves to highlight how sports therapy may provide valuable therapeutic relief from personal struggles.
