In this episode of The George Levy Experience, we get real about football, faith, failure, and the fine line between discipline and burnout. I sit down with two of my friends—Kai, a D1 football commit headed to William & Mary, and Ronan, a thoughtful high school senior navigating life after acceptance to UVA. We talk about what it actually takes to go D1, how cutting weight affects your mind, and why doing the hard things is what separates good from great.
But this conversation isn’t just about sports. We dive into family dynamics, growing up with divorced parents, the pressure of expectations, and even whether or not three guys could take down a silverback gorilla (seriously). We also open up about our faith in God, the cost of cursing, and how regret is really just a form of inaction.
This episode is for athletes, thinkers, believers—and anyone trying to figure it all out.
