Episode Synopsis

“There are two types of people: those who are humble… and those who are going to be humbled.”
From the Final Four to life-altering adversity, the former UF star and SEC analyst shares what it means to rebuild with purpose.

In the premiere episode of The Two Types of People, former Florida Gators standout and SEC Network analyst Patric Young joins host Pat Sitkins to unpack what it means to live with authenticity, purpose, and perspective—especially when life doesn’t go to plan.
From nearly making multiple Final Fours to sustaining a spinal cord injury that changed everything, Patric walks us through his journey with unshakable honesty. He shares how Coach Billy Donovan humbled him early on, why positivity is a daily rep-based discipline, and how helping others has become his greatest form of strength.
This isn’t a comeback story. It’s a call to show up—even when your path breaks wide open.
- Growing up as “the next Dwight Howard”
- The power of repetition and small drills
- Life in a chair, not defined by it
- What the obstacle gave him that basketball couldn’t
- Starting The Patric Young Foundation
- The difference between resilience and resistance
Bonus Round:
What does Determination mean to Patric?
“Every decision we make is a vote for the person we want to be. You can’t flip a switch—you train determination daily, like reps. Like a shell drill.”
