Why Tim Ream Uses LEGOs to Manage His Mental Health
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Tim Ream builds his mental health brick by brick. To help quiet his mind, the captain of the U.S. Men's National Team searches through thousands of tiny, colorful interlocking plastic bricks while assembling LEGO figures. He finds peace in locating the pieces. 'It forces you, in a way, to disconnect from what's going on outside and focus solely on the pieces and how they fit together,' Ream said in an episode of NBC's 'My Favorite World Cup Player.' Ream, a defender for Charlotte FC in MLS and who will captain the U.S. team in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has spoken openly about his struggles with mental health, which he says date back to his elementary school years.
