Not Ready for Life: The Declaration Too Many Athletes Make! EP 72

Ask a question for the show

In this episode, I talk about a truth many athletes face — realizing too late that they weren’t prepared for life after the game.

I share how an unexpected injury at the University of Oregon shifted my mindset from just being an athlete to developing as a young man — lessons that carried into my time in the NFL.

This message is for student and professional athletes: don’t wait until it’s over to say, “I wasn’t ready.”

Start exploring your passions, building skills, and speaking up about what you want — now.


Takeaways:
  • Why athletic programs alone can’t prepare you for life.
  • How adversity can spark growth and purpose.
  • The power of curiosity, communication, and self-development beyond the game.

🎧 A short, honest reminder that your career ends — but your life doesn’t. Prepare now.
