Presence of Mind || Bronson Kaufusi: 2-Sport College Athlete and NFL Veteran on Gaining an Edge with your Mental Game & Teaching Next Gen


Listen Later

Bronson is a 6-year NFL Veteran that takes us through his unique experience of playing 2 college sports simultaneously and having his father, Steve, as an assistant coach on the football team. He talks about a balance of life and sports instilled in him at a young age by his parents and how that has paid dividends in his life now as he transitions to focusing on his thriving business ventures. He talks extensively about the importance of training your mental game and the confidence and edge that it can give you over the competition. Bronson describes the many moments - like networking while on the basketball team and a big injury his rookie year in the NFL- in his life that made him aware of the importance of preparing form life after sports while he was still in the game. Those moments and that awareness have paid off huge dividends as he is comfortably and happily making that transition now.
