Ep. 62 | Senator Jon Husted

“You’re never going to play here.” Jon Husted remembers hearing those words as a seventh-string running back at the University of Dayton. He went on to become an All-American and a national champion. U.S. Sen. Jon Husted joins Jim Tressel on “It’s All About the Team” to share the story behind his journey from foster care and adoption to college football and the U.S. Senate. Growing up in rural Ohio, Husted learns the value of hard work from his parents and finds coaches who help him pursue opportunities he never knew existed. He recalls the challenge of earning his place at Dayton, the decision to turn down a coaching opportunity with Nick Saban and the unexpected path that leads him into public service. Husted and Tressel discuss learning from losses, earning trust and surrounding yourself with people who make the team stronger. Husted also shares a message for anyone who feels overlooked or held back by earlier mistakes: “You’re not trapped by your past.” Watch the full conversation, share the lesson that stays with you and subscribe for more episodes of “It’s All About the Team.” #JonHusted #JimTressel #ItsAllAboutTheTeam
