WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE, AND WHAT DO YOU DO TO MANAGE THIS

CHALLENGE? Not buying out. Putting time and effort into practice and focusing on my craft. I enjoy learning how to improve and get better and working hard. Also, finding a balance with career and family, prioritizing and making time to be with my kids and my family. At the end of the day they don’ t care about football, they care about Dad.

WHAT DOES YOUR TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE? In season, different days of the week vary, but generally my day starts at 4:45 – 5:00am. I start by planning out the day, going over my responsibilities and what needs to get done that day. I usually start the day watching film, then do some form of treatment— different exercises / treatments( varies depending on specific needs), then study and review the playbook, go to practice, work out, more film study, stretching, etc. I typically get home between 6:30 and 7:00pm, spend time with family, dinner, go to sleep, and repeat.

WHERE DO YOU DRAW YOUR INSPIRATION FROM? My parents. They’ ve instilled values in me that have given me opportunities to succeed. Seeing the many struggles they have gone through and how they’ ve persevered and overcame has inspired me to do better and take what they’ ve given me and move forward with it. Aside from my parents, every time I interact with different people and hear how hard life can be and see that not everyone is blessed with equal opportunities, it inspires me to help motivate these

people to find their own personal success. Those interactions just inspire you to succeed to the point where you can have an impact and inspire others by sharing your story and trials you’ ve overcome throughout the process, hopefully connecting with them and showing them that they can overcome and succeed as well.

HOW DID YOU LEARN ABOUT dōTERRA? My wife, Rikkie, introduced me. Recovery and sleep are two extremely important components to my success. She introduced me to dōTERRA products that help with those two things specifically.

WHAT dōTERRA PRODUCTS DO YOU USE THE MOST? Deep Blue ® and my diffuser. I use Deep Blue in massage to help with recovery. The diffuser is nice because I can choose what oils and blends I want to diffuse, and I can take it with me when I’ m on the road to help with sleep and relaxation.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER BLEND, IF YOU HAVE ONE? dōTERRA Breathe ®. It’ s definitely a go-to blend for me.
