Welcome to Episode 10 of the Mindset Sports Podcast "Making The Most of It". In our third episode with Marine Sgt. Rocky Sickmann, we bring on his best friend Billy Gallegos who was held hostage with him in Iran. Rocky & Billy were in a room together for over 400 days while being held hostage.
We are captivated as they tell stories of how they passed the time of going through what I would describe as a living hell. From being tied down, rarely seeing daylight, to facing mock firing squads and constantly being blindfolded these two have found a way to overcome their challenges to give back to others.
You will see the special bond they built as they did their best to handle their time in captivity. Towards the end of the episode we take the time to discuss the ever so important topic for many of our veterans, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As you listen to this episode do your best to put into perspective what Rocky and Billy have been through while serving our country. We are all truly blessed to have these two amazing men as an inspiration to us all.
