In this powerful episode of Bound for Greatness, host Scott Jarvis sits down with former NFL punter, broadcaster, motivational speaker, and author Greg Coleman—the first African-American punter in NFL history and a true trailblazer both on and off the field.
From his humble beginnings in Jacksonville to making history in the NFL and becoming a beacon of leadership and resilience, Greg shares the story behind his book PUNT: Flip the Field. More than just a football term, “flipping the field” becomes a life-changing metaphor for overcoming adversity, leading with emotional intelligence, and finding purpose in setbacks.

The power of faith, family, and focus in leadership
Why emotional intelligence matters more than ever for coaches and ADs
The “PUNT” method for personal and professional success
Stories of mentorship, legacy, and lessons from the locker room to the boardroom
