Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Travis Blanks

Travis has remained in Clemson, SC now working with the Block C Club because Clemson feels like homeGrew up in Fort Myers, FL before moving to Tallahassee, FL and played on the same Pop Warner football team with Sammy Watkins

Football and track were his two primary sports and was ranked 3rd in the state of Florida for the hurdlesA pivotal moment in life was being able to attend North Florida Christian School

He was not a fan of one particular NFL team, however, Sean Taylor was a player that he would strive to be like on the fieldAs he looks back on his recruitment, it is sometimes surreal to think that coaches like Les Miles, Nick Saban, Jim Tressel, and Dabo Swinney were calling him

Some of the toughest games at Clemson were against Notre Dame, Louisville and even NC StateWould have been content with a loss to LSU in the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl in 2012 because he knew they gave it everything they had

Still thinks about the loss to Alabama in the national championship game because of breakdowns in the game but does not dwell on the loss

Knows God has a plan for his life and has been able to move forward even though he wasn’t able to fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL due to 2 ACL tears while at Clemson

Believes that sports can help shape your perspective in life and so many traits can be instilled in each person from sports that are applicable in lifeWords of Wisdom from Travis Blanks:“Be the best version of you.”
