Rick Finotti was a former football director/coach at Michigan, John Carroll University, St Edwards in Cleveland, and Mayfield High School. One of my favorites coaches ever, Rick is a great example of a friend, husband, coach, mentor, father, and overall man. 

Rick and I talked about his recent transition out of coaching during one of the toughest times of his life- losing his father. He dives into what his family means to him and all the times they’ve supported him and his decisions. We even touch on Stoicism, the importance of connecting with our elders for wisdom, and how to incorporate that knowledge into our lives. 

For those who don’t know, Rick is a SAVAGE when it comes to the weight room and training. We talk about what training at 49 looks like and his new goals for fitness. He discusses his trials with every fad diet and how he’s trying to improve his relationship with food. 

I’m forever indebted to Coach Finotti for sparking my love for football again after my transfer to John Carroll. I will always have so much love for this guy and it was a blast being able to connect and catch up with a truly inspirational person in my life! 

Hope y’all enjoy 🤝
