In this episode of the Pro Mindset® Podcast, host Craig Domann sits down with Nic Harris—former @NFL linebacker turned actor and community leader—for an inspiring and candid conversation on resilience, reinvention, and redefining identity beyond the game.
Nic opens up about the physical and emotional toll of multiple knee surgeries, the harsh realities of the @NFLDraft process, and the challenges of navigating a career cut short by injury. He shares how he leaned on resilience and self-belief to pivot into acting and community service, discovering new purpose and passion outside of football.
Together, Craig and Nic unpack the misconceptions surrounding professional sports, the importance of mental toughness, and how to embrace new opportunities when life forces a change of direction.
Episode Takeaways:
💡 Resilience Through Setbacks—Turning Injuries Into Fuel for Growth
💡 Redefining Identity—You’re More Than the Jersey You Wear
