In this episode you will hear my conversation with college football legend, Adrian Peterson. Adrian is a two time National Champion & four time All American who played for Georgia Southern University. What’s even more amazing than what he’s done on the field is what Adrian’s overcome off the field, growing up with a speech impediment that caused him to stutter and challenged him early in life. With the help of a supportive family Adrian shares that overcoming this obstacle and any obstacle in your life is possible with the right mindset and work ethic! We talk about his book: “Don’t Dis My Abilities” and we also discuss the state of college athletics in the midst of the corona virus pandemic (covid19) and how athletes and coaches can get through these challenging times!
