Listen Later

In this episode, you will hear our conversation with Nick Ferrer about how he controlled his mind a body during the process of playing college football.  As a high school quarterback, he set just about every single-season passing record at his school and took his team to the state championship.  His freshman year he attended the University of St. Francis in Ft. Wayne, IN where he won the starting QB job his freshman year.  After a disappointing 6-5 season, he was benched and had to deal with the heartbreak of failure all over again.  Listen to Nick explain how he handled that adversity, bought into the process his coaching staff laid out, and worked his way to back to back national championships and the NAIA Offensive Player of the Year award.  Here are some highlights from our conversation:
