Grit and Determination with Nate Boyer, Former NFL Player and Green Beret Mission Daily
-
- Self-Improvement
On today’s episode, Ian is joined by Nate Boyer, ex-NFL player and Army Green Beret. Growing up, Nate didn’t know what he wanted to do so he tried many things from working on a fishing boat to teaching special needs children. After the attacks happened on 9/11, Chris decided to backpack around the world and helped with humanitarian work during the Darfur crisis. It was his time there that he realized he needed to do something more — to help those who couldn’t help themselves. So he enlisted in the Army and joined the Green Berets.
Nate was ready for his next challenge and decided to embark on the unlikeliest of journeys, and pursue a career in football, a sport he’d never played before. Through grit, determination and by tapping into the work he’d done in the military, Nate succeeded when no one thought he could. He walked onto the Texas Longhorns team in 2010, becoming a long snapper on the roster in 2011 and later receiving NFL interest.
Today, Nate’s leveraging his experience as both a veteran and an athlete to help others come together and help each other have an even greater impact on the world.
