Always Travel With Your Boots 0
Nov 21, 2025

Alex Goff toured with the USA Military team and sat down for a long conversation with J'Son Townes and Cliff Davidson to talk about their military experience, the difficulty of coming home with the burden of those memories, and how being on the rugby team is healing.

Can rugby help with PTSD? Yes, it can, for some. But sometimes it's more about finding a home and a place where others understand you.

For some it's the game. For all, it's the brotherhood.
