On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to
Talk about how sports shaped you growing up.
"Sports teaches us so many great lessons, like hard work, camaraderie, and the willingness to risk failure for the opportunity to succeed."
Did you ever dream of playing football professionally?
"I thought of nothing else other than going into the NFL, and I got really really close....Reflecting back now, even though for many years I thought that I had failed and I hadn't reached my dream of having a long career in the NFL, looking back on it now, I achieved my dreams. I became the person that I watched on TV as a little kid on Saturday afternoons, playing in front of tens of thousands of people on national television, so I just feel really humbled and fortunate that I got to experience all those great things and have all those great memories, and not only that but have an impact to an extent on all the people who were fans of mine, and fans of the team, who got a chance to watch us play."
