Josh Martin – Linebacker for the NY Jets – All Business

When you get to the top of your pro-athlete career, are you ready for what’s next?

With six pro seasons and his best year yet, NY Jets linebacker Josh Martin has been sidelined by two concussions that landed him on the injured reserve list for the rest of the season, and forced him to think about accelerating the process of planning life and what’s next after football. He discusses team building, how he was unprepared the change of culture that’s needed for well-rounded success, and about forming a strong and diverse management team to be ready for the next chapter. Plus, the need for pro athletes to create a strong social media presence, and his surprising musical side.
