Ep. 24: Former NFL Coach and Keynote Speaker, Daron K. Roberts: How He went from Harvard Law to NFL Coaching to Changing Lives through Mentorship
How the f**k did Daron K. Roberts go from Harvard Law to volunteering and helping the special teams coach for the Kansas City Chiefs and moving up through the ranks from there? Today, we talk to Daron about his journey through law school and the NFL. Near his graduation from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was student body president, Daron was a U.S. Senate Aid to the Governmental Affairs Committee. From there he went on to attend the Harvard Kennedy School and graduate from Harvard Law School in 2007 after four years of being put on the waitlist. Daron then made the transition to the football coaching world where he coached for teams like the Chiefs, the Lions, the Browns, and West Virginia University. Since then Daron has written a best selling book and is now a Lecturer in Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin where he is also the founding director for the Center for Sports leadership and Innovation, and an advisory board member to the South By Southwest conference. So how did Daron persevere through countless Harvard and coaching applications? And did we add a new Lightning round theme song by accident?
