This is a podcast about initiation, grief, and remembering who you are. When leaving the NFL I would have given anything to find community within these stories. As professional athletes, we live an entire life compressed into a decade. We experience love, loss, victory, and defeat on the worlds stage. We achieve society's dreams and have to live to watch them fade away. Life Beyond The Game has conversations with the world’s greatest athletes to hear their highest achievements, hardest moments and, ultimately, the death of who they thought they were.
