Jo Ann Pugh, bestselling Author and Founder of “The 50 Yard Line Mom”, joins Glenn on the Field to discuss her life mission to increase the health and well-being of elite athletes at all levels, through education, advocacy, and reform. She shares her personal story of helping her son, Jordan, navigate through the complexities of becoming a standout D-1 football player at Texas A&M, getting drafted to the NFL, and suffering an unexpected career-ending injury, which encouraged her to be an advocate for families and aspiring professional athletes to improve and protect their health and well-being when their sports career has ended. Jo Ann also shares why athletes should develop a well-rounded identity beyond their sport, actively manage their finances, explore potential career paths outside of athletics, build a strong support network, and seek mental health care to navigate the emotional challenges from a career-ending injury.
