In Episode 60 of Men Pursuing More, host Roger Maupin sits down with former NFL kicker Rhys Lloyd to talk about identity, resilience, and purpose beyond the game. Rhys shares his journey from growing up in Dover, England, to moving to Apple Valley, Minnesota at 15, leaving friends behind and using sports as the bridge to connection and belonging. At Eastview High School, he balanced soccer, track, and football—earning offers to play soccer after high schoolwhile eventually becoming the kicker for the University of Minnesota.
Rhys opens up about his path to the NFL, time in NFL Europe, and the difficult transition when professional football ended. Now a husband and father of three boys, Rhys reflects on why coaching became so rewarding after the NFL—allowing him to pour into others, understand what makes people tick, and lead with both accountability and care. This episode challenges men to stay authentic, focus on character over outcomes, and truly enjoy the journey they’re on.
