All Episodes

Welcome to the first episode of The Second Half Podcast! Our mission is to give you access to athletes, the part of their lives that fans rarely get to see--what life is like AFTER sport.

Join us each week as we give you an EXCLUSIVE look into the lives of athletes (from collegiate level to professional). We share the athletes' best tips, tricks, and life learnings on how to overcome big transitions, and create a meaningful life.   

This week we talk to Brian Peters. Brian is a former NFL linebacker for the Houston Texans, he also played in the AFL and the CFL. Brian is now harnessing his experience as a professional athlete to help other athletes stay mentally and physically strong.

Brian is currently a co-founder and performance coach at The Mindstrong Project https://www.mindstrongproject.com/; Brian also hosts his own podcast, Chasing Edges where he explores the pursuit of optimal living and performance @chasingedges. 

In this episode Brian and I explore topics like: 
-an inside look at being "reborn" after life as a professional athlete and starting at ground zero to find your new path
-how to keep competition alive in your life to help you maintain purpose and focus
-tips to help keep you mentally in check with yourself
-the athlete identity and how to transcend society's expectations in pursuit of what makes you happy
