Listen "Finding Champions Beyond The Field with Danny White"

Episode Synopsis

































"I didn't throw footballs anymore, but
I still play the piano as the organist in the Arizona Temple"—an
unexpected career path for Dallas Cowboys legend Danny
White, who credits his mom's stubborn piano
lessons for his NFL success. White takes us behind the scenes of his
controversial decision to skip a College World Series game on Sunday due to
religious beliefs—a choice that led to striking out in the championship but
ultimately directed him toward football stardom. He offers an insider's
perspective on competing alongside Roger Staubach (who once added a paper cup
to a barbell to outdo White's bench press record) and playing for legendary
coach Tom Landry, highlighting how both men excelled without compromising their
principles. White speaks openly about the infamous fumble that cost the Cowboys
a Super Bowl appearance and shares how his faith sustained him through losing
his son and wife within months of each other. With wisdom gained from triumph
and tragedy, White reminds us that true success requires ensuring our ladder of
achievement is "leaning against the right tree.”
