Becoming a high level athletic AND academic success comes with a lot of pressure, challenges, and work! On this episode I talk with James Mccarthy a former championship winning and highly decorated football player out of a prestigious Choate Rosemary Hall High School who started out in public school and went on to play 2 years at Dartmouth College, helping the team win 2 Ivy League Championships before having to retire due to concussions. He now coaches football and teaches at Taft School, a prestigious private boarding school in Connecticut and shares insights both athletically and academically for high school athletes and parents looking to succeed and become the best versions of themselves personally as possible.
