UNBOUND: Saybrook Insights with the President
A Homerun for Mental Health with Dr. Drayton Patterson
My guest today is Saybrook alumnus Dr. Drayton Patterson. I must admit, I am thoroughly excited to meet someone like Drayton - he comes from the sports world and has evolved in his career to be a major supporter of mental health and well-being. Among his credits, he has served as Director of Mental Health and Wellness, Former Board Member, and Ambassador for the Association of Professional Ballplayers of America (APBPA) 2019-Current. He's a Professional Speaker/Psychologist/Best Selling Co-Author, "The Road to Success", Sept. 2016 w/Jack Canfield #3), Unchain Your Brain, January 13, 2017- #1. He is currently listed as one of the "10 Best Psychologists in Chicago" by Thumbtack. Moreover, he is the first Ph.D. Psychologist to sign a player’s contract and manage a professional baseball team in the Mid- America League, and Minor Leagues. He was also a baseball scout for the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau and Texas Rangers (7 years). He was also a Former Sport Psychologist for Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers. Licensed in Illinois/Nationally Certified School Psychologist. This guy seems to do it all and I can't wait to learn more about his story.
