Daron Roberts joins us on The Foundations of Sports to discuss his journey from Harvard Law to the NFL, and the steps he took to follow his dream. He speaks about how working the Steve Spurrier Summer Football Camp with his good friend was the pivot point that motivated him to pursue his true calling of coaching.

He shares the stories from his book “Call an Audible“, including the phone call from Coach Herman Edwards that provided the opportunity, and “Operation Houston” which details the behind the scenes account of Daron’s 1st game as a NFL coach.

Daron is the founder of the Center for Sports Leadership and Innovation at the University of Texas. With his team, their curriculum teaches how sports can play a positive role in the lives of young people, and how they can be leaders on and off the field. Through their programs of C.L.E.A.T. (continuing leadership and ethical athletic training), Captains Academy, Fellowship programs, and financial literacy, the CSLi sets an example for others to learn and follow.

His podcast, Tribe Called Yes, brings his audience closer to the world’s most notorious risk takers, trailblazers, and enemies of the status quo.

Daron founded the 4th and 1 Foundation, that provides football, test prep and life skills through his annual summer football camp. They provide a blueprint for all the characteristics necessary to be successful in life, and to be a great teammate and role model on and off the field.

“Make hockey fun for kids and let them love the game the way we did,” Coach Brooks.

Through the Rink Rats Program, Hockey Clinics, and scholarships, the Herb Brooks Foundation is helping kids learn the life lessons of teamwork, hard work, integrity, and accountability through the game of the hockey…the same life lessons that Coach Brooks instilled in the 1980 USA Men’s Hockey team that won the gold medal at Lake Placid.

On the inaugural episode of the Foundations of Sports, we welcome Katy Galli of Keep Moving Forward Podcast and Brand.

Katy uses her background in Collegiate Track and Field to help former college and pro athletes transition from the athletic field to the next phase of their life. In this episode, she talks about how her final collegiate track competition and the plane ride home was a launching point for her work with Keep Moving Forward.  She speaks about how to apply the “athletes mindset” to accomplish any goal, her inspiration from Walt Disney, and the goal of interviewing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for her podcast.

Katy’s podcast features the stories of former professional and collegiate athletes who’ve utilized the lessons and values developed in their sports to start their own businesses.  The key to their transition is seizing every opportunity presented on their journey and then eventually honing in on that one true calling…that one passion that takes them beyond the athlete they once were.

Enjoy the episode
