On Episode #33 of the Path to Follow Podcast, Jake and Greg discuss off-season training for football players, the coaches that inspired Greg, growing up with football as "a way of life" in Alabama, the recruiting process, the influence of social media (especially Twitter) on athletic recruitment, developing yourself as a player and student in high school, the differences in "level of play" between high school, college, and professional athletics, a "day in the life" of a college football player, Greg's football experience at University of Alabama at Birmingham, how society can influence emotional vulnerabilities, father-son relationships, and Greg's two book recommendations: "Slavery By Another Name" by Douglas A. Blackmon (2008) and "Cry Like a Man" by Jason Wilson (2019). //
