1.1 NFL Legend Vince Papale: ‘Do It for the Underdog’


Listen Later

“When I put the shoulder pads on, the helmet on, and the equipment. . . I did it for the fans, for the underdog.”


With his underdog spirit, a difficult home life, and little else, Vince Papale rose up from a rough neighborhood to the guy we’ve all seen on Invincible, starring Mark Wahlberg wearing the famous Philadelphia Eagles #83. In this episode, Vince tells us all how we can be truly invincible. He told his secret formula (his 3As— Analyze, Adapt, Achieve). But you know what impressed me even more? Vince’s humility (he wouldn’t let me call him “Mr. Papale”). He did what he did not just for himself, but for his community. Don’t miss this one. This is Vince's fairy tale story.
