Episode 47: The Heart of Humanity with NFL Legend Nick Lowery

“Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.” – Native American proverb

Nick Lowery is a philanthropist and Hall of Fame athlete, but his entry into the NFL was anything but smooth. Nick was released or rejected 11 times by eight NFL teams before finally given a chance by the Chiefs who, as history proves, made a hell of a return on their investment.

Retiring after 18 seasons in the NFL, Nick is widely regarded as the most valuable kicker of all time, achieving records for most field goals in NFL history, most accurate field-goal kicker in NFL history, and all-time leading point scorer for the Chiefs.

But Nick is far from the athlete stereotype you might imagine. He attended Harvard University where he graduated with a Masters degree from the Kennedy School of Government. Among his extraordinary list of accomplishments, Nick has: served three US Presidents as an advisor on youth and drug policy in the White House; received the most prestigious humanitarian award an NFL player can receive; and worked tirelessly to equip the next generation with everything they need to thrive.

Among his philanthropic endeavors, Nick is founder of Champions for the Homeless, the Nick Lowery Youth Foundation, and has run leadership programs for Native American youth for 20+ years. In recognition of his efforts, Nick has been featured in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and on David Letterman, and in two feature films.

We cover a LOT of ground in this episode. Nick will share:

• His secret process to becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL history;
