Life After The NFL with Christian Ponder

The heart of this conversation focuses on the current state of youth sports. Christian and Don discuss the monetization of youth leagues, the dangers of early specialization, and the vital role of sports in building character rather than just chasing trophies. Christian also shares his journey as a father and coach, offering practical advice for parents on how to stay focused on human development over athletic performance. Plus, learn about Christian’s innovative business venture, The Post, and why community is the missing link for former athletes in the business world.
