This month's Heisman Trophy Podcast is a mega-episode as we take a journey into the realm of neuroscience and what it tells us about brain development in elite athletes. How much do we know about the brain as it pertains to athleticism? What factors help determine which athletes becomes great and which do not? Are elite athletes wired differently? Is their development due primarily to nature or nurture? Guests include neuroscientist Stephanie Alessi-LaRosa, the head of the sports neurology department at the Hartford HealthCare Ayer Neuroscience Institute, Zach Schonbrun, author of The Performance Cortex, former 5-star quarterback, current ESPN color commentator Max Browne, and class of 2027 right hand pitcher Davis Wilson of Fresno (Calif.) North High, an elite Major League Baseball prospect who is committed to Vanderbilt.
The Heisman Trophy Podcast streams every Wednesday during the college football season and monthly during the offseason, and is hosted produced, edited and engineered by Chris Huston. The pod is available on all streaming networks, including Spotify and Apple Music, and features video interviews and bonus content on YouTube and TikTok. We also have a reddit community.
