Today marks the first time in QB Dadcast history that we have invited a guest back onto the podcast.  In our first conversation in 2021, we learned about Bill, the father of two athletic kids, and the value of hard work from his hardworking parents, who always taught him to finish what you start.  Bill shares his stories of playing quarterback for Coach Nick Saban and tells a fantastic story of a teachable lesson about attention to detail and the slight edge while playing for him. Coach Saban shared a great piece of advice that Bill now shares with his kids, "outcomes are distractions," which allows them to focus on the process. 

Can visualization techniques transform your life beyond sports? In today's conversation, Bill will share his inspiring journey of writing "Victory Outside the Arena." Bill offers essential advice for athletes transitioning from the world of sports to new horizons, reflecting deeply on his relationship with his father and the priceless moments of parenthood. 

Delving into the rigorous process of writing a book while balancing family and a demanding career, Bill and I discuss the power of visualization and motivational strategies. Learn how visualizing the book cover early on and imagining endorsements from influential figures like Nick Saban kept us focused and disciplined. This conversation underscores the importance of staying present for our families and using visualization to achieve long-term goals, both in writing and personal development.

Lastly, you will love Bill's story as he recounts a memorable football game against Ohio State; we draw valuable lessons in accountability from Coach Nick Saban. Please celebrate with us as we honor Bill’s recent achievements and the impactful messages of his book. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to legacy, personal growth, and the enduring significance of being present as parents and leaders.

Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!
