Wayne, IN where he won the starting QB job his freshman year.  After a disappointing 6-5 season, he was benched and had to deal with the heartbreak of failure all over again.  Listen to Nick explain how he handled that adversity, bought into the process his coaching staff laid out, and worked his way to back to back national championships and the NAIA Offensive Player of the Year award.  Here are some highlights from our conversation:2:17 - Recap of his football career3:05 - Differences between high school & college football4:18 - Dealing with failure6:20 - Moving forward with purpose7:52 - Performance on the field9:32 - Preparation for success12:45 - Leading teammates under pressure17:25 - Relaxing before competition19:35 - Being coachable20:54 - Using failure to grow and "find success"21:38 - Distractions at college23:11 - End of season & start of a new one25:27 - Long term vision, short term plan29:00 - Handling the national championship trip30:36 - Advice for younger athletes32:50 - Taking these experiences into the real worldAre you an ATHLETE looking to take your training to the next level?
