What happens when the dream you've chased your entire life suddenly disappears?David Pollack knows.From becoming a three-time All-American at Georgia to playing in the NFL, working on ESPN's College GameDay, suffering a career-ending neck injury, losing his broadcasting job, and walking alongside his wife during her battle with brain cancer, David has learned that our identity cannot rest in what we do—it must rest in who God says we are.In this honest conversation, David shares what resilience really looks like, why broken seasons often become God's greatest classrooms, how daily disciplines shape lasting character, and why legacy isn't what you leave behind—it's what you leave in others.If you've ever struggled with disappointment, unexpected change, fear, or wondering what's next, this conversation will encourage you to trust that God is still writing your story.📖 Get Every Day Countshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG6Z4N9L?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_N5F0PNTF15C59X1KNQCK&bestFormat=trueConnect with David:https://davidpollack.com/See Ball Get Ball Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DavidPollackCFBFamily Goals Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/family-goals-with-david-pollack-and-pastor-j/id1585214791Subscribe for more conversations that help you embrace your brokenness and discover the life you were made for.00:00 Why David Pollack's Story Matters03:28 Welcome & Fast Five10:36 The One Thing Most People Don't Know About David16:28 The Broken Neck That Changed Everything22:27 Building Resilience Through Adversity28:14 Start Where You Are30:45 Why So Many People Feel Stuck35:45 Daily Habits That Change Your Life40:48 Reading Scripture for Transformation43:21 Walking Through Lindsey's Brain Cancer47:11 Marriage, Parenting & Legacy50:23 What Legacy Really Means52:29 How to Make Every Day Count55:02 Where to Connect with David56:46 Closing
