A Legacy Beyond the Gridiron

From Playbooks to Purpose

For Ryan Day, football was never just about winning. From the moment he took over the Buckeyes, he envisioned a team that would inspire change both inside and outside the stadium.

Day’s journey to this moment is deeply personal. Having faced mental health struggles in his own youth after losing his father, he has made mental health awareness and children’s wellbeing the cornerstone of his mission. Through his Ryan and Christina Day Fund for Pediatric and Mental Health, the coach has raised over $20 million to provide free counseling, therapy, and family support programs for children battling depression, anxiety, and trauma.
