15 Harsh Truths On Fear, Doubt, and Discipline From The NFL’s Greatest WR - Jerry Rice
from The Victory Degree · host Nik Atanackovic
Jerry Rice is widely considered the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, and by some measures the greatest football player, period. But the mindset behind the records is less understood than the highlights. This episode covers everything I learned from reading his 2007 book Go Long, along with quotes and stories pulled from his interviews over the years. We get into his childhood in rural Mississippi, the relationship with his father that shaped everything, the rough start to his NFL career, his approach to practice, and what he says he'd change if he could do it again.
