In this episode of The Everyday Athlete Podcast, I sit down with CJ Saunders, former Ohio State Buckeye, NFL athlete, and team captain, to talk about the evolution of the athlete and why growth shouldn’t stop when our playing days are over.

CJ’s journey from walk-on to scholarship athlete, captain, and NFL player is nothing short of inspiring. But beyond the accolades, his perspective on identity, values, and continuous growth is what truly stands out. We dive deep into what it means to embody the habits of the person you want to become before you actually become them and how this mindset shift can redefine your trajectory in sports, business, and life. If you’ve ever wondered what’s next after athletics and how to keep evolving your edge, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
