Welcome back to the Mentors and Moguls podcast with your host, Heather Stone! Today’s guest is the late, great TJ Lang, former NFL star who has pivoted his professional life in some incredible ways. He’s on the show today to share his wisdom, experience, and what has made him into the wonderful person he is today.
TJ shares with us what gets him up in the morning. When there are times when he feels like he just can’t do it in the morning, he remembers the motivation he got from his teammates when he was in the league. He knew that when he was hurting and didn’t want to do the work, there was always someone else who was in the same boat and still showing up. He wasn’t afraid to have a bad play, he was most afraid of letting his teammates down. He dedicated himself to extending his career and became the best player he could.
His role models growing up were his parents. The work ethic his father had to make the city better and the motivation he had rubbed off on him. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how big and strong you are if you don’t put in the work. That’s something he’s lived by to this day. 75% of his game was mental. If he was going in 100% confident, he would get it done.
Now that he’s retired, TJ is looking to stay involved with the game. For him, whatever it is he lands in, he wants to dabble in as many areas as he can--radio, TV, advisory roles, you name it. That way, when he decides what it is he is most passionate about, he’ll be more prepared.
