Prim Siripipat speaks with former Ohio State and NFL linebacker, Joshua Perry, about the struggles he faced at various stages throughout his athletic career. At Ohio State, Perry played all four years from 2012-16 and led the team with 124 tackles during his junior year as the Buckeyes went on to win the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship. As Perry reveals, however, beneath every athlete’s success story are a slew of struggles that go unnoticed. In this hour-long interview, Joshua talks about the personnel issues that almost led to him transferring, the six concussions that led to his premature retirement, and the challenges he continues to face in beginning his next career.
