I love this time of year with all of my NFL athletes back in the house. The thermostat turns up a few notches, and the energy is infectious. My guest today, Gerald McCoy, a 12-year vet, is a natural-born competitor who sets the pace with his million-dollar smile, his infectious positive energy, and his insatiable willpower & resilient mindset. It’s just always better when “the Dini” is back in the house. Get ready for some fun, some great wisdom and advice, and energy that will certainly elevate and ignite your mindset. 

 

Today, Gerald talks about:

- Why he was kicked out of the house

- What keeps him going

- What it will take to get back and signed with a team

 -His biggest struggle in life

- Advice for young kids today

- Why the Lion is the king of the jungle

- Life after football… this might surprise you!
