Former National Champion, Super Bowl Champion and current Executive Director of the Professional Athletes Foundation at the NFLPA, Andre Collins, joins the show to share his story of developing into an elite professional athlete & sports industry leader. From growing up with 19 siblings, to winning at the highest level (as both a college and professional athlete), to becoming a successful community ambassador and business leader off the field, Andre Collins’ legacy in sports is what having resilience is all about. As a LB for the Washington Football team (formerly known as the Redskins) during his playing career, Andre also weighs in on the team’s controversial name, mascot and logo. He offers insight into the events that lead to the decision to ultimately make the transition after several years of debate. Also discover how Andre uses mindfulness and gratitude practices to guide his daily routine and how they have enabled him to continue his excellence off the field by guiding athletes in their career "transformations" [transitions] after football through mentorship and character development programs.
