This week’s episode is with Joe Cardona, the starting long snapper for the New England Patriots. The Super Bowl Champion was a teammate with Captain Brewer and considered Matt to be a mentor, and “a warrior in every sense of the word”. Joe opens up about a moment during Super Bowl 52 where he had a bad snap, and how that play led him into a depression that ultimately taught him how to be a better player and person.
Brandt and Joe talk about the importance of vulnerability, especially in professional athletes where perfection is expected in imperfect people.
