By now, NFL fans should know Vince Papale. Or at least his remarkable story.
Papale's life and career with the Philadelphia Eagles was the inspiration behind the Disney movie "Invincible" starring Mark Wahlberg.
Working as a part-time teacher and bartender, Papale did the impossible by earning a roster spot on the Philadelphia Eagles in an open tryout. At the age of 30, he became the oldest rookie in NFL history, eventually playing three seasons and serving as captain of the Eagles special team's unit.
In this episode, Papale discusses what drove him as a person to overcome such staggering odds to earn a spot on an NFL roster, and what advice he gives children and youth about pursuing their dreams and aspirations while dealing with adversity through life's harsh lessons.
