        &lt;p&gt;Theo Fleury hit the ice at age five. He was a hockey phenom at 14, a Stanley Cup champion at 20 and an Olympic gold medalist at 33. He was also keeping a terrible secret. As a teen, he was sexually assaulted by one of his coaches. Hockey became an escape, but it couldn’t fix everything; he faced addiction and suicidal thoughts. Today, Theo is sober, and he talks with host Chamique Holdsclaw about what it took to get there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can follow us on &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/tremendous_pod"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/tremendous_pod/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt; using @Tremendous_Pod.
