Everything But the Game

Who are you outside of your sport?

In the first episode of Everything But the Game, Rebakah Obinma sits down with her cousin Michael Onyemaobi, a former TCU football player from Temecula, California. In TCU's 2018 season opener against Southern, his first college game, Michael tore his ACL, LCL, PCL and peroneal nerve, and he didn't know if he would walk normally again. He talks about three and a half years with drop foot, his comeback senior season, Coach Gary Patterson and the TCU staff, the NFL math nobody tells young athletes, the first business he built in college, and how he moved from football into real estate, where he is now a principal at O Street Group.

Also in this episode: growing up in a Nigerian household, advice for freshmen and athletes in transition, what to do the week you get hurt, mentors, being a girl dad, and faith.

Everything But the Game is a podcast for former athletes and anyone with a story about life beyond the sport.
