Watch Out of the Dark: Jack Beer

An intimate portrait of an athlete learning that success isn’t measured in goals scored, but in the courage to ask for help

Watch Out of the Dark: Jack Beer

Jack Beer seemed destined for soccer greatness — a collegiate champion at Georgetown who went on to a professional soccer career. But behind the success was a battle with anxiety that nearly took him out of the game. In Out of the Dark: Jack Beer, Jack opens up about his mental health journey and his decision to step back from soccer to heal. Now an ambassador with Athletes for Hope, he’s using his platform to redefine what strength means, on and off the field.
