About this Event

Squawkin' Sports: Trans Sports & Writers Edition!
Hosted by Patrick Sauer & David J. Roth
Featuring authors Julie Kleigman, Benedict Nguyen, and Victoria Zeller
Tickets starting at $11
Created and hosted by writers Patrick Sauer and David J. Roth, Squawkin’ Sports is an ongoing series featuring book chats with authors who write about playing games. This month, Sauer and Roth chat with Julie Kleigman, author of Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes, Benedict Nguyen, author of Hot Girls With Balls, and Victoria Zeller, author of One of the Boys.
In Mind Game, local Queens-based author and a Sports Illustrated copy chief, Julie Kleigman offers a deep look into how even the best athletes struggle with and persevere through mental illness. Featuring insightful interviews with Olympians Chloe Kim, McKayla Maroney, and Adam Rippon, NBA players Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, and former U.S. Open tennis champ Bianca Andreescu, Mind Game breaks down the ongoing, heartening movement of athletes across sports coming forward to get the care they need and deserve-and to help others feel safe opening up about their struggles.
