b'
\\u201cYou\\u2019re no longer a number when you\\u2019re dealing with the SDFL... We want everyone to be able to take care of their families with the product that is on the field.\\u201d
Today\\u2019s episode gives me greater hope for the future of our nation\\u2019s professional athletes. My guest, Garrick Jones, tells us how his professional football league, the SDFL, is poised to not only become a blueprint for how leagues and teams should treat their players, but potentially transform professional sports across the board.
\\u201cAll of the downfalls guys have been through, we\\u2019ve been through it\\u2026 \\xa0if I\\u2019ve never been there before, I\\u2019m going to have a hard time showing you which way to go.
As Commissioner of the SDFL, Garrick has taken what he learned as a player and a businessperson, and along with his partner, President Byron Clay, allows the SDFL to serve its local communities with pride and dedication, and strives to provide fans, family, and friends with a memorable game experience. What gets me fired up about the SDFL, is that it provides high-quality professional developmental football during the summer/fall season while introducing on field development, critical for the futures of the players once they leave the game.
\\u201cIt\\u2019s about a mentality. You\\u2019re going to have pitfalls in life. I have yet to be on a rollercoaster that didn\\u2019t go down, and did not go up. If I did, that would be a terrible roller coaster. That\\u2019s life, and life is what we teach from.\\u201d
In this episode, we talk about the highs and lows of being a professional athlete, the importance of being fully prepared for the time you have to leave the game you have completely immersed yourself in, and a \\u201cHit Your Mark\\u201d round of questions at the end that will leave you laughing, especially the part about pranking the rookies! \\xa0Make sure to tune in, as you will soon be hearing quite a bit more of the SDFL and Garrick Jones!
\\u201cWe\\u2019re creating check writers, instead of check chasers.\\u201d
\\u201cWe want people who have experience and a wealth of knowledge to offer to our athletes.\\u201d
