Rich Take On Sports
Show Notes:
Rich Spotlight: Chad Wilson
Grew up in New York and also a portion of his early childhood in Trinidad
Soccer was his first sport which eventually would help him develop footwork for playing football
After moving to Florida, football became a passion after seeing guys wearing jerseys at school on game days and girls seemed to gravitate towards those guys
Moved to California to be with his dad in high school and would have to play on the JV football team during his Junior year before moving to varsity
Signed to play with Long Beach St. University to play under legendary coach Georg Allen
Became part of the “U” fraternity in 1992 after he transferred to the University of Miami when the football program at Long Beach St. was disbanded
Regrets not pursuing other NFL opportunities instead of focusing on the opportunity with Dennis Erickson and the Seattle Seahawks because he didn’t push himself out of his comfort zone
While coaching high school football, he started helping players with video highlights to be used for sending to coaches and thus the idea of Gridiron Studs was born
Gridiron Studs is now available as an app allowing players to connect with coaches for exposure
Sports helped develop structure, organization, and has applied so many things from sports and the game of football into his life
Words of Wisdom from Chad Wilson: “Don’t be ordinary and nobody owes you anything.”
