In our newest podcast episode, I sit down with none other than Eric Decker – yeah, the former NFL superstar who's made a massive leap from the electric buzz of football stadiums to the introspective world of personal growth and self-discovery. THIS was deeper than I expected and that’s what creates the magic. Eric gets real with us, opening up about how he's redefined his game plan for life.

On today's episode of The CLS Experience, we have a very exclusive treat. Hailing from a very small town in Minnesota, he defied odds and smashed through adversity to become not just any former NFL superstar wide receiver, but a true embodiment of resilience and determination, on and off the field. It’s about building a life that’s not just about the score on the board but the peace and fulfillment in his heart. We dive deep into what it means to strip away those pressures we all feel to be a certain way and how to find that sweet spot of emotional intelligence and spiritual balance. Eric's journey, especially after hanging up his cleats, shines a light on the real challenge we all face: Who are we when the thing we’re known for is no longer our identity? His journey in the NFL, marked by setbacks and injuries, is a vivid reminder that true strength lies in the ability to RISE after we fall. His story doesn't stop with self-revelation. Eric talks about finding new passion in his family and projects that feed his soul. He's living proof that there's life, a really good one, after what you thought was your only calling. And let’s not forget the role of mentorship and supporting adolescent mental health – huge, right? To top it off, we get into the amazing energy of his wife, Jessie James Decker, and how they're setting the bar high for the next gen. He's just a juggernaut in all facets of life and a terrific husband and father. Please welcome the determined and multifaceted, the handsome, gritty and authentic Eric Decker.
