Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Chad Wilson

Grew up in New York and also a portion of his early childhood in TrinidadSoccer was his first sport which eventually would help him develop footwork for playing football

After moving to Florida, football became a passion after seeing guys wearing jerseys at school on game days and girls seemed to gravitate towards those guysMoved to California to be with his dad in high school and would have to play on the JV football team during his Junior year before moving to varsity

Signed to play with Long Beach St. University to play under legendary coach Georg AllenBecame part of the“U” fraternity in 1992 after he transferred to the University of Miami when the football program at Long Beach St. was disbanded

Regrets not pursuing other NFL opportunities instead of focusing on the opportunity with Dennis Erickson and the Seattle Seahawks because he didn’t push himself out of his comfort zone

While coaching high school football, he started helping players with video highlights to be used for sending to coaches and thus the idea of Gridiron Studs was bornGridiron Studs is now available as an app allowing players to connect with coaches for exposure

Sports helped develop structure, organization, and has applied so many things from sports and the game of football into his lifeWords of Wisdom from Chad Wilson:“Don’t be ordinary and nobody owes you anything.”
