Episode one of six focuses on pressure. In the 1980's, Todd Marinovich was one of the most highly sought after high school football prospects of all time. He won the Rose Bowl as a freshman with USC and was a 1st round NFL Draft pick by the Raiders. Behind closed doors, though, he was drowning under the pressure, developing addiction and alcoholism. In the first episode, he tells his story, you hear the story of how this podcast came to be, the story of Baby Gronk, and we look at pressure in athletics, particularly at the youth and college level in the time of NIL. Also featuring commentary from Jannell Kalifey and Dr. Janet Finlayson. Episode two coming Friday, July 5.
