Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa and punter Bryan Anger lead charities that utilize the each players’ platform and off the field interests.
"While we were up on the boat in between dives, we were just chit-chatting," Anger said in an interview with NBC Local Sports."I came from a military background. Both grandpas were military, my brother is Air Force Reserve, so I have a huge support for military. For vets.
Although Anger admits that he cannot explain all of the medical benefits from scuba diving, he said there is proven therapeutic benefits from doing so. Research shows that scuba diving helps reduce the level of cortisol, a hormone that plays an important role in the body's stress response. Anger also said the organization is set up to be able to allow veterans and public safety officials to scuba dive at a range of levels, from beginner to going out with a master diver.Another therapeutic aspect of Anger's organization is it gives participants a sense of community, allowing veterans and public safety officials to socialize with people with similar backgrounds and interests.
"It was very important for me and my family and my brothers to start, and to just be able to give back to the single-parent community, just knowing where we come from and the struggles that we face in just getting here, we beat the odds," Odighizuwa said in an interview with NBC Local Sports."And that wasn't because of our own strength. My mom was out here, tooth and nail, to make ends meet for us, and there was a lot of people showing kindness to us.
