No Grey Areas

Life Doesn’t Hand Out Participation Trophies | Ep. 123 with NFL Kicker Jake Arians


Listen Later

As football season kicks off, we have the perfect guest to dive deep into everything football. Today, we welcome Jake Arians to the No Grey Areas Podcast. He was a former NFL kicker for the Buffalo Bills and the son of Super Bowl–winning coach Bruce Arians.

Arians shares his journey from picking up football for the first time in 7th grade to earning respect as more than “just a kicker.” Growing up with a coach for a father meant constant moves, hard lessons, and a front-row seat to the game at every level.

Jake walks us through the highest and lowest moments of his career, the difference between being a coordinator and a head coach, and why emotional intelligence is one of the most important qualities in a leader. He shares why sports are one of the best teachers for kids, how “coaching hard and hugging later” earns lasting respect, and why life doesn’t hand out participation trophies. His perspective on hard work, sacrifice, and resilience offers lessons far beyond the field.
