107. Last Chance U (Commentary #7)

This episode was inspired by the Netflix football documentary LAST CHANCE U. It features several collegiate athletes that have been removed from Division I rosters due to academic or disciplinary issues. Our conversation is focused on all aspects of personal development, leadership, social intelligence, and overcoming setbacks. We begin this conversation discussing season 3; which explores Independence Community College in Independence, Kansas. The first two seasons were filmed at East Mississippi Community College.

The highlights of this conversation include:

  • The relationship between Frank Diaz and JB Brown
  • The mentorship efforts of Ms. Pinkard
  • Looking beyond athletics
  • Team camaraderie

This is a great listen to understand why certain athletes have success and why others fail who are equally talented. It also enlightens the listener with strategies to overcome set-backs.

The student-athlete and sports parent will benefit tremendously by working through the Sports Mastery Workbook together. Click here to learn more.
