Today, we’re honored to sit down with a friend of ATN, Martin Ali Simms—a Neurosequential Sports Specialist, Mental Health Consultant, and Founder of The DOPE Coach Academy. Martin has dedicated his life to helping athletes and coaches tap into the healing potential of brain-based approaches, somatic practices, and trauma-informed care.

In this episode, we dive into:

🧠 What it means to be a Neurosequential Sports Specialist and how brain development intersects with trauma recovery in sports

💪 How somatic practices support healing in athletes (and non-athletes)

⚽ Why sports and movement are such powerful tools for emotional and mental wellness

🏆 The mission and philosophy behind The DOPE Coach Academy

💬 How coaches can foster environments of emotional safety and growth

🔍 The evolving conversation around mental health in the sports world—and what’s still missing

✨ Simple, practical ways anyone can use movement to begin their own healing journey

Whether you're a coach, athlete, parent, or simply curious about the intersection of mental health and physical movement, this episode offers inspiration and actionable insights.

💬 “Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind—it lives in the body. And the body remembers.” — Martin Simms
