For the 18th consecutive year Athletes in Recovery will be at #SuperBowlLXI #RadioRow in Los Angeles. The largest marketing opportunity in the country. The message of #Hope and #Help never gets old!

THE TRANSITION IS REAL. I spend much of my time with my clients on this very issue. What happens when the uniform comes off for the last time? For athletes, veterans, and first responders, and many other occupations, it’s more than leaving a career. It’s losing an identity, a brotherhood, and a sense of purpose. It is REAL and we often self medicate those feelings. I’ve lived it. And I know the struggle is real. "Healing begins when we allow ourselves to grieve the loss of that identity and discover who we can become beyond the uniform." The uniform may come off, but your purpose doesn’t have to end. There is life after the uniform. And nobody should have to find it alone.

THE HITS DIDN’T END WHEN THE GAME WAS OVER. #10yrs in the NFL.🏈 More than #20yrs battling addiction.💊 One story of recovery and redemption. OFF CENTER Foreword by Mike Ditka OffCenterTheBook.com

From the @NFL to a life of purpose. 🏈 My greatest victories didn’t happen on a football field. They came through overcoming addiction, rebuilding my life, and discovering that our toughest seasons can become our most powerful stories. Today, I share that journey with organizations across the country—talking about recovery, resilience, leadership, mental health, and navigating life’s transitions. If your organization is looking for a message that’s real, relatable, and built around the power of a comeback, I’d love to be part of your next event. 🎤 Bring the comeback story to your stage.

It’s that time again… NFL Training Camp~ That sacred time of year, before the 18 week regular schedule, where you: 1. Beat the hell out of your teammates. 2. Teammates beat the hell out of you. 3. Suffer heat related issues. 4. Spend all your free time treating injuries. 5. Continuously fight off others trying to take your job. 6. Hours and hours watching film and in meetings trying to stay awake. 7. Average meals that you don’t have time to eat. 8. Hazing rookies with what little energy you have left. 9. Lonely nights trying to fall asleep through the pain. 10. Waking up and repeating. Wouldn’t trade that decade of competing for anything!🏈 Athletes in Recovery

July 1983. Reporting to my first NFL training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a rookie wearing #60. I had a dream, a suitcase, and an opportunity that would change my life forever. Looking back, I’m grateful for every lesson—both on the football field and in life. Here’s to where the journey began. 🏈 #TampaBayBuccaneers #NFL #TrainingCamp #Gratitude #RookieYear Athletes in Recovery

Every comeback has a purpose. For years, I stood on the field as an NFL center. Today, I stand on stages across the country sharing a story of resilience, recovery, leadership, and hope.

“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person: he believed in me.” —Jim Valvano Today and every day, we honor and appreciate the fathers who fill our lives with love and laughter. Happy Father’s Day! #AthletesinRecovery

There were days I didn’t think I’d make it. The struggles, the setbacks, and the dark moments could have broken me. Instead, they became part of the journey that made me stronger. Recovery isn’t about being perfect. It’s about proving to yourself that you’re stronger than what tried to hold you down. If you’re fighting a battle today, don’t quit. Your story isn’t over. #Recovery #Hope #Strength #AthletesInRecovery #ProAthletesInRecovery #MentalHealth #NeverGiveUp
