Sit down with Shawn and this week’s guest, Tre Tipton aka Uncle Tre! A wide receiver and graduate student in the School of Social Work, Tipton discusses his playing career as he prepares to enter his seventh year at the University of Pittsburgh. Throughout his time at Pitt, he has suffered multiple season-ending injuries, including a collapsed lung that left him to learn how to walk again, but it is through these injuries that he found the will to persevere and thrive. Today, he not only plays football and works on his graduate degree, he also helps other student-athletes to persevere through injuries and find out who they are through his organization L.O.V.E. - Living Out Victoriously Everyday - because he “Never wants someone else to feel like they don’t have someone to talk to.”
