    What does it really take to thrive in the NFL, not just as an athlete but as a teammate and leader? From intense practices and fierce competition to the mental pressure of playing on an island, the journey isn't as glamorous as it seems. How do young stars develop the resilience and mindset required to stand out and lift those around them?   Greg Newsome reveals how he forged his path by embracing every challenge, starting with a pivotal year at IMG Academy that prepared him for college and beyond.
