About this listen

In this episode of Hahnacity the Podcast, we sit down with Isaiah Neil, a former University of Alberta Golden Bears football player who turned his own struggles into a mission to support youth mental health.

Behind the strength and toughness expected of a student-athlete, Isaiah was navigating challenges that forced him to rethink what resilience really means. Stepping away from football became the beginning of a new purpose—using honesty, storytelling, and connection to help young people feel seen, supported, and less alone.


Now a keynote speaker working with youth across Canada, Isaiah shares why talking openly about mental health matters, how vulnerability can be a form of leadership, and what he’s learned about rebuilding identity beyond sport. This conversation is about courage, healing, and the power of showing up as your full self.
