Welcome to the in your PODcket podcast, presented by Choice Asset Groups. This episode is the first of a two-part segment, where I talk with Jarrod Pughsley. Jarrod is a former NFL offensive lineman, turned middle school educator and devout family man. His story is the type that I wish we, the public, heard more of in the media’s coverage of professional sports: those coming from humble beginnings who are able to experience profound change in their lives, when given an opportunity to do so.
Jarrod gives us some insight as to the mindset of an aspiring athlete, and the extent of his commitment to improve in order— going so far as to lose 40 pounds in a semester! He alludes to the process of ‘grinding’ at various points throughout our conversation, for everything that he had earned at each level in his playing career, and how he leveraged each adversity he experienced before to overcome the one that laid ahead.
Despite his ability to overcome, even he is unsure if he can overcome a big injury that compromises his playing future at rookie camp— before his playing season even began. This would all set the stage for Jarrod and the life events that would follow it.
