Be Ready When Your Number is Called with NFL QB Chase Daniel

NFL quarterback Chase Daniel has been in the League for 10-years. He was undrafted out of college and has played for four different NFL teams. He has started only five games in his career but has made the most out of his opportunities. In today’s episode, Chase shares his mindset, his keys to success as a professional QB, and what it takes to be a high-performer in any profession. Also, Chase talks about leadership, preparation, and how to stay ready even when you are not the “starter.”
