Nearly 20 Years strapping on an NFL helmet. Several NFL records. A right foot that accounted for over 2000 points in his career! But today\\u2019s guest on my #MakeYourMark podcast, Matt Stover, is just getting started. He\\u2019s taken his deep interest in philanthropy and is channeling it into his company, helping charities raise money for great causes with fewer challenges. And he was ready for all of this even during his rookie year!

\\u201cRight at the very beginning I understood that I needed to start thinking about the fact that my career will come to an end one day, and I will be a young man when that happens.\\u201d

Matt was never sure which season, much less game, would be his last, and he felt a strong sense of responsibility in being fully prepared for his next career. Winning a Super Bowl at the age of 42 was the perfect send off, and he did it on his own terms, which in football, happens all too rarely.\\xa0

\\u201cAs an athlete, if the financial piece is what motivates you to be great, it will let you down. It has to come from your heart and be a passion of yours for you to be the greatest for your team.\\u201d

You\\u2019ll hear about Matt\\u2019s transition, his company, outworking and outsmarting, and so much more! Score some points and give this a listen!
\\u201cWith the NFL you\\u2019re constantly evaluated, even in practice, and then you\\u2019re evaluated in public every time you go out on the field. But you take that on because we\\u2019re in the entertainment business.\\u201d

\\u201cWhen you look at how it turned out for me, it was based on the understanding of what my limitations were, and then refining what talents I did have, and then I just outworked everybody.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0
\\xa0
\\u201cI always planned financially on what amount I would have to make if my career was over that year, and what did I have in the bank to replace the expenses that I had.\\u201d
