In this season I sit down with a fascinating group of ex-athletes – from a variety of team sports – to learn the most valuable skills and impactful lessons they developed on the court, field, ice, and sand… and more importantly… how they apply what they learned to every other area of their lives.

Joining me today is Erik Swoope, a former NFL tight end that had stents with the Colts, Saints, Raiders, and 49ers. What makes that 10 times more impressive is that he didn't even play football in college. He actually played basketball for the University of Miami Hurricanes and decided to try football. After he graduated, he has successfully transitioned into a post playing career as the Head of Sports Partnerships at Heroic. For more on Eric, follow him on Instagram at @swooperstar86.
