Relationships…parenting…balancing your life and career…
It gets tough, doesn’t it?
Some days, I just wish one of my coaches would call me up, give me the play to overcome a challenge, and I go and execute it.
I guess I didn’t realize how easy I had it as an athlete.
But seriously - you want to win, especially in your career and at home.
Sometimes we just need to pick up someone else’s playbook to get some direction.
Because, let’s face it, we don’t have all the answers…
Especially when it comes to managing and intersecting our careers and personal relationships.
On today’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with Drew Pittman - co-founder of Brain Vault, author of the book First Team Dad, and NFLPA-Certified agent for over three decades.
Drew had an experience early in his agent career that shifted the way he thought about his faith, family, and the game of football. …and it turned into a Playbook.
In this latest episode, Drew and I talk about…
Drew’s recommendation for preventing self-awareness turning into self-sabotage
Drew’s playbook for maintaining a tight-knit family while living a life as a leader
What advice Drew’s mom would give about getting to your next level in today’s crazy world
…and so much more.
If you want some go-to plays for winning the game of life, then lock in to today’s episode.
