52: Overcoming Obstacles with Jeron Mastrud – Former NFL Tight End

We often forget the importance of loss or even failure.

We don’t discuss how important it is to learn from, and how vital this skill is for a Student-Athlete’s future success. Jeron Mastrud’s ability to learn from defeat is one of the reasons for his launch to the NFL.

Jeron says it best, “There is another day, there is another opportunity. There is something you can learn from this and move forward from this. So instead of being devastated by the loss, figure out why you lost and make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

Jeron shares his journey from Southridge High School in Beaverton, OR to 2 time All-American at Kansas State University and starting Tight End for the Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins. He expounds and elaborates on:

  • Smack talk
  • Developing a mindset for stiff competition
  • Strategies to overcome adversity
  • How to bounce back after injury

Overcoming obstacles can range from loss, injury or other forms of adversity. Listen and learn why the journey to success includes the ability to overcome. Jeron Mastrud is a prime example of this and why it leads to future success.
