In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, Shad and Dustin dive into the power of embracing your role within a team. They reflect on the valuable lesson from Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, who shared his thoughts on resilience, teamwork, and the importance of accepting your role, even when it’s not the one you hoped for.

The conversation focuses on how athletes can contribute to the team’s success, no matter where they stand on the depth chart. Shad and Dustin discuss how athletes can support their team from any position, whether they’re a starter or a backup, and how coaches and parents play a crucial role in fostering this mindset.

Key Takeaways:
 • Resilience is about accepting your role and continuing to work hard, even when you’re not playing as much as you’d like.
 • A positive attitude and hard work can lead to growth and more opportunities.
 • Coaches, athletes, and parents must work together to create an environment where every team member can thrive, regardless of their role.

Join Shad and Dustin as they explore how embracing your role can lead to personal growth, stronger teams, and lasting success.
