Episode 131: Overcoming Adversity and Rejection in Recruiting and Your Life as a Coach

Summary: Do you ever feel like your life as a college coach is filled with non-stop adversity and challenge? And more importantly, are you feeling like it's starting to affect your personal and professional life in the form of negativity or even depression? On today's episode of the College Recruiting Weekly podcast, we talk to former Division I football player Darryll Stinson. He overcame a career-ending injury, drug addiction, and even a suicide attempt earlier in his life. He used those challenges to develop a roadmap for how anyone - including college coaches - can overcome what can seem to be daily adversity and rejection in recruiting and their coaching career. After he delivered a popular 2020 Ted Talk, he became known nationally as a trusted voice in this area of life we all experience.
