On this week’s episode of At the Podium with Manuel Amezcua, Manny is sitting down with Bill Burke, former Michigan State Spartans quarterback.

Currently, Bill works with The Podium Group and is the author of Victory Outside the Arena: How Athletes Can Go From Isolated to Inspired Once the Applause Begins to Fade. 

Before this new phase of his life though, he learned the power of focusing and giving your best effort for the task at hand from his head coach, Nick Saban.

Bill’s insight to the reality of being a high level athlete, and the lessons that he’s taken from the greatest college football coach of all time, have formed the contents of his latest works, and today he is here to share that perspective with you.
