Nate Ebner and I were childhood friends and teammates in sport. As our paths diverged from one another, Nate is a human being that I have drawn immense motivation from in watching his success on and off the field. Nate went from not playing football in highschool, to walking onto The Ohio State University. That is no small feat, while also leaving behind an opportunity to travel the world and be a professional rugby player. Nate's story of how he developed his values is one that everybody can learn from. Through hard work and determination you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Nate went from being a walk-on, to team captain, to getting drafted by the New England Patriots. He won 3 Super Bowls in his career, and also was afforded the opportunity to become an Olympian in the RIO 2016 Olympics where his Rugby dreams came true.
Nate lost his father to a tragic accident, and in his story of redemption and perseverance Nate channeled everything his father ever taught him and accomplished some of his biggest dreams. We talk about it all, and we also dive into what is next in the life of Nate Ebner. I think you're going to really enjoy this episode.
