Jason Cabinda: Leading On And Off The Field

Andrew is joined by Detroit Lions fullback Jason Cabinda. Jason is a nominee for the NFL’s 2021 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Considered the NFL’s most prestigious honor, the award recognizes NFL players for outstanding community service as well as excellence on the field. The winner will be announced a couple of days before this year’s Super Bowl. Jason has hosted back-to-school book drives, virtual reading comprehension sessions with students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and he spends hours mentoring kids. On the field, Jason is one of a few NFL players to make the transition from defense to offense—a rare feat at the sport’s highest level. You'll hear what inspires Jason to work as hard off the field as he does on it. Show Highlights2:24 - Changing positions in the NFL3:27 - Leveraging past experience during change4:44 - Reaching out to others for advice5:51 - Planning to play different roles6:54 - Leadership and finding ways to lead7:57 - Outworking the hardest worker8:05 - Learning from Mike Hull at Penn State9:05 - Preparation and seizing opportunities10:05 - Building confidence through preparation11:42 - Little things in the NFL that make a big difference14:45 - Gratitude15:35 - Jason's faith and staying grounded16:15 - Eliminating "I just" from your vocabulary19:30 - Walter Payton Man of the Year nomination20:24 - Role Jason's mom plays in his career21:52 - Community service experiences25:55 - Inspiration to give back26:52 - Leading at a young age and with limited experience27:57 - Favorite football memory at Penn State28:22 - Learning from Marshawn LynchBe sure to subscribe & leave a review for the show in your favorite podcast app.Follow Andrew on Twitter:@andrewhmoses and IG: @AndrewMoses123 Sign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!Please tell your friends about Everybody Pulls The Tarp on social media and be sure to tag Andrew in your posts @andrewmoses123 (Instagram) and @andrewHmoses (Twitter).
