Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Woody Dantzler
Was not a true college or pro football fan growing up in Orangeburg, SC as his first idol was Bruce LeeBegan excelling in track and field and started learning the importance of technique while learning to throw the javelin
True motivation while playing sports was notto win but to never let his teammates down
Rick Stockstill is the only reason he decided to sign with ClemsonLearning the complexity of the college game was a big challenge as he redshirts his freshman year where Brandon Streeter and Nealon Greene were very influential in his development
Eventually becomes the starting QB at Clemson and becomes the first QB in NCAA history to pass for over 2,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in a single seasonHe came to his faith after Head Coach Tommy West was fired and Tommy Bowden was hired
Decided to continue his playing career to see how far it could take him and he trusted that God would open doors and allow him to use his platform to connect others with ChristWhile he loves coaching people, he never had the desire to be a coach because of everything else involved with coaching
Words of Wisdom from Woody Dantzler:“No matter the situation, no matter what has happened you have a choice.”
