On the #49th Episode of Chase The Vase, I needed a re-due, another crack at Derek Price. Derek was my first guest on Chase The Vase and I wanted to tap into the mental aspect of his game.
Derek earned a scholarship to the University of Iowa and followed by a career in the NFL to play for the Detroit Lions. It was cut short due to a severe neck injury which required career ending surgery. Derek wasted no time post NFL departure getting his life on a new track and promptly enrolled into Life University College of Chiropractic. He found a program called SEALFIT while in conversation with other SEALs. He enrolled in a Navy SEAL Hell Week administered by current and former SEALS. Selected Honor Man of Class 17, he was awarded an entry intern position with the SEALFIT team. He was one of a very small population of Certified SEALFIT Kokoro Coaches that administers SEALFIT camps around the world. Some notable SEALFIT coaching pursuits include University of South Alabama, St. John Bosco High School, Nike, and multiple Law enforcement groups. Derek has served as Sr. Cadre for more than 20 HELL WEEK simulations with the SEALFIT group. Dr. Price has built a large CrossFit Competition event production group and has held benefit events throughout the years for numerous causes to include Autism Awareness, Juvenile Diabetes, Women’s Health, Pediatric Cancer and many others. Currently Dr. Price owns and operates a beautiful Sports Orthopedic Medical Clinic complete with numerous specialties. He still finds time to train daily with his friends and family and to prepare for his personal endurance and functional fitness such as Ironman Triathlons, CrossFit Competitions and Alcatraz Open water swim races.
Derek is a leader in the area of mental health and mental toughness. He leads men in all aspects of his life and trains men and women on how to develop leadership and mental toughness. He perfects his craft by doing. Derek is constantly in motion learning how to implement structure and change. Honored to share the microphone with Derek Price.
