This week on Lap of Fate Pod 97, we bring on former NFL and D1 College Football Coach Evan Burk. Coach Burk is also a speaker, and podcast host who uses the sports world as his backdrop to engage audiences with thought-provoking lessons of leadership, team-building, and creating championship cultures.
Evan Burk is not your typical football coach. Despite not playing football beyond high school and no network in the coaching profession, Evan's unlikely football journey began as a 4th-grade coach, where he quickly worked his way to the NFL in just 6 years and included coaching for teams such as the Miami Dolphins, UCLA, and SMU. Positions he coached were quarterbacks, running backs, defensive backs, special teams, and more!
After spending fifteen-plus years working with the highest-performing athletes, coaches, and teams on the planet, Coach Burk uses his unique football coaching background to teach people how to utilize the same strategies in business and life that elite players and teams use to perform at a world-class level.
Coach Burk enlightens Leap of Fate Pod this week with lessons learned and amazing stories from his career. For any sports fans, this is the perfect podcast for you!
PS- We had such a great time talking we are recording a part 2 to finish the podcast. Been on the lookout
for it next week :)
