Sports Fan Therapist: 10 Sessions and 100 Questions

Artie seeks help from world renown sports fan therapist, Dr. Schwartz, for his existential sports anxiety. Over the course of 10 sessions and 100 questions, Dr. Schwartz helps Artie understand his condition so that he reconnects to his spiritual calling: a deeply passionate sports fan. Together, they consider deep questions such as: What’s your earliest memory of being a sports fan? How was fandom imprinted in your childhood? How connected are you to your sports teams’ heritage and traditions? How does your perception of truth affect your sports arguments and relationships? What sports stories attract you? What do these themes or narratives say about you? What happened in sports that still disappoints you to this day? What pain is worth the suffering? What is your biggest sports fear? What sports moment elevated your life? Artie’s therapeutic experience is an invitation to reflect upon deep life questions and one’s relationship to sports fandom. His journey is both hilarious and relatable, as we all have a bit of Artie in us. As he wills himself to face his deepest fears and embrace his grief, we all learn a blueprint for living life to the fullest and understanding exactly who we are.
