Freddie Stevenson once climbed from homelessness to the NFL, and his story just debuted on the big screen
Episode 57 of The Mental Game features Freddie Stevenson, a former NFL and Florida State fullback, author and, now, filmmaker. His film, “Trials to Triumph” was recently released and is available on Prime Video, Apple TV and more.
Stevenson first joined The Mental Game in January 2022 and detailed his dramatic rise from a childhood of homelessness and poverty to the NFL.
His football career featured a National Championship at Florida State and a stint with the Chicago Bears. But once he retired, Stevenson experienced severe depression, bringing him to despair.
Over time, he learned to harness the power of a positive mindset to turn his life around and authored his book, “Trials To Triumph.”
That story has now spawned Stevenson’s film, which debuted on May 2, 2023.
On The Mental Game, Stevenson takes us through:
* How he connected, pitched and produced “Trials to Triumph”
* What you need to know about his inspiring story
* Why transitioning to life after sports is such a hurdle for athletes
*Much more
Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
