Janice* Winslow was a former college quarterback whose dreams of going pro were shattered by a career-ending injury. She settled in Wall Lane, Arizona to start a quiet life as a high school football coach. One day, the news of QB Trevor Lawrence's massive $275M contract extension hit her hard.

It triggered memories of her own promising football career cut short. The disappointment and regret she had buried deep inside resurfaced. Janice felt lost and turned to alcohol to cope.

Realizing she needed help, Janice discovered the Stepping Into Action program. Following its principles, she learned to process her emotions healthily. She found new purpose in mentoring young athletes and helping them avoid the pitfalls she had faced.

'The past doesn't define us,' Janice said. 'It's how we move forward that matters.'

Some experts praised Lawrence's contract as a well-deserved reward for his potential. Others criticized it, arguing that he hadn't yet proven himself worthy of such a massive deal.

However, for Janice, the controversy surrounding Lawrence's contract was insignificant. What mattered was that she had taken control of her life and found a way to heal and grow.

It was a difficult journey, but Janice was grateful for the online resources that helped her when local options were scarce. Getting professional help, even remotely, was the best decision she ever made.
