On this episode of the RU Strong Podcast, I sit down with a true competitor, leader, and mindset expert Raymont Harris.

From starring at Ohio State Buckeyes football, where he was an All-Big Ten selection, Team MVP, and one of the program’s all-time leading rushers, to competing in the NFL with the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and New England Patriots, Raymont’s journey is built on resilience, perseverance, and relentless growth.

But his story goes far beyond football.

After his playing career, Raymont returned to Ohio State as the Director of Player Development for over 14 years, helping shape the lives of countless student-athletes. Today, he’s the Founder & CEO of Elite Mindset and Performance, a professional speaker, and the author of Control the Controllables, impacting athletes, teams, and organizations across the country.

In this powerful conversation, Raymont shares:

• The mindset shift that changed his career and life

• What it really takes to succeed at the highest level

• The truth about transitioning out of the game

• Why resilience and self-awareness are the ultimate competitive advantages

• How today’s athletes can navigate pressure, NIL, and life after sports

This episode is packed with lessons for athletes, coaches, and anyone striving to become the best version of themselves.
