  • 120. LA Rams HC Sean McVay Pt. 1
    Jun 11 2025

    In 2017, Sean McVay became the youngest NFL head coach in the modern era, at 30 years old. In his second year, Coach McVay led the Rams to a Super Bowl appearance and three years later he became the youngest head coach to ever win a Super Bowl. In Part 1 of our conversation with Coach McVay, he shares the story of his love for sports as a high school state champion quarterback and an elite level youth soccer player whose passion for preparation, grit, and leadership qualities were the foundation for his success both on and off the field. Coach McVay talks with great humility and authenticity about the influence of his parents and his grandfather (the GM for the multi-Super Bowl winning 49ers), the high school and pro coaches that mentored him, what he has learned about investing in others, and so much more. This episode will inspire coaches, young athletes, and parents about the value of sports, of teammates, and of the life lessons that translate to who we become off the field - you don't want to miss it.

  • 119. Super Bowl Champ & Pro Lacrosse Player Chris Hogan
    Jun 4 2025

    Chris Hogan is our guest on this week's episode and man, is his story an inspiring one. Not recruited heavily as a football player, Chris signed a full scholarship with Penn State as a Lacrosse player. After playing LAX for 3 yrs, he transferred to Monmouth University to play football, with no aspirations to play beyond college. Several years later, Chris made the Buffalo Bills roster, after being cut from multiple other NFL teams, where he played for several years before the Patriots picked him up, and everything changed. Chris talks about the winning culture he experienced with the Patriots and playing with Tom Brady, his Super Bowl experiences and much more in his story of overcoming adversity. He also talks about returning to lacrosse as a professional player after retiring from the NFL, and as a father of four, his thoughts on today's youth sports culture and being a sports dad.
