Ep. 3: Memphis Made: Jed on Passing the Torch to His Son


Listen Later

What happens when a former elite athlete becomes the parent of one? This episode on Time Out, Ashley reconnects with her high school classmate Jed — a phenomenal quarterback out of Memphis back in the day — whose son just wrapped up his freshman basketball season as his team's Offensive Player of the Year. As a freshman.

Jed opens up about the unique challenge of being a sports dad when you've BEEN the kid chasing the dream. They dig into the sacrifice, the financial reality, the emotional side of supporting a young athlete, and how being a former quarterback shapes — and sometimes complicates — the way he shows up for his son. He also shares the advice every sports parent needs to hear.

This conversation is for every dad pouring into his kid's dream, and every family trying to figure out how to support a rising star the right way.
