1. “A Rising Tide Raises All Ships.”
This commonly-used coaching cliche refers to the success of the team benefiting each individual. If your team is winning (the tide), then there will be enough credit, money, rewards, etc. for all the individual players, coaches, management, etc. (the ships).
If your company is achieving its goal, whether it’s wins, revenue, or downloads, there will be enough glory for all of the teammates. To clarify, this isn’t a suggestion to ride the coattails …
Many of you already know that I was training out at Stanford in the off-season. I guess when your job depends on someone else so heavily (the quarterback), it is a necessity to practice as much as possible together.
While I was out there, I attended the NFL Business Management & Entrepreneurship program at Stanford University. Each off-season there are opportunities for NFL players to attend “mini-camps” on topics that they are interested in after football. You’re now likely wondering, …

Growing up, watching as much of the Combine as I could through NFL.com (we didn’t have cable), I would always look through the numbers of the top players and try to see where I would measure up. This was the ultimate place to display your athletic…
Ok, I have something to tell you… you might want to sit down. I… watched the most recent episode of the Bachelor earlier this week. Phew, I’m glad we got that out in the open. To clarify, I didn’t turn it on, and I wasn’t watching it by myself. I …
NFL Living Situations Congratulations! You just got drafted! After a stellar senior year as the starting holder for your college, you were the third to last pick in the NFL Draft (and the first ever holder taken! For our non-football readers, the …
Senior Bowl and All-Star Games Watching former teammates Stepfan Taylor and Chase Thomas play in the Senior Bowl on Saturday is both exciting and nerve-racking (the same will go for watching Andrew Luck play in the Pro Bowl on Sunday). I’m confide…
The title isn’t referencing the recent Fiscal Cliff debacle, but rather how the immediate end to the NFL season for players is an unusual juxtaposition of schedules. The NFL Offseason is an intriguing period for players. Your every moment during t…
