Kick Start to Glory: Josh Jasper’s Journey Through D1 Football

Kick Start to Glory: One Player’s Journey Through D1 Football.  My guest this week is Mr. Josh Jasper, former LSU kicker and now pursing the life of a firefighter. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ E. Roosevelt   I feel it would be safe to say that most young boys and girls dream of playing a sport professionally.  If they don’t dream of becoming a pro then they will at least mimic their favorite athletes and pretend to be that superstar. This week’s guest shares how his love for both soccer and football came together and gave him an incredible ride through high school and eventually D1 football with the LSU Tigers.  Mr. Josh Jasper explains how kicking came easy to him and after his first big moment kicking the game winning field goal in high school he knew this was what he wanted to do all the time. In our conversation Jasper fills us in on how being a high school standout didn’t guarantee him a scholarship to college and it was actually his mother that took the detour on their way home after a long road trip doing tryouts that eventually landed him his one offer. Mr. Jasper found himself on the team of the 2007 National Champions his freshman year and from there he went on to set several records and become one of the most trusted kickers in college.  These successes would have seemed like he was a lock for the NFL, but unfortunately those dreams never came to be realized.  All was not lost however, because he attributes all of those moments of ups and downs through football that gave him the grit and tenacity to just keep going when things are tough.  This episode is very inspiring and over all just a fun watch.
