It’s great to have 7-year NFL QB Jameis Winston on the podcast today as we are talking all things football, training, mentorship, and life. Jameis is the heir apparent QB for the New Orleans Saints after spending the last year under the tutelage of Drew Brees and the previous 5-years to that with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jameis is a former Heisman Trophy winner and #1 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

On today’s IMPACT SHOW, we talk about: 

  • Why Jameis came out to San Diego to train
  • What Jameis believes it takes to be great
  • Lessons learned working with his mentor Drew Brees 
  • What Jamies does to “Get his Mind Right”
  • Tasting the Top and Tasting Adversity; Jameis’ tips for perseverance
  • How growing up with 20-kids in the house helped make him who he is today
  • How to embrace the struggle
  • What the world needs to know about Jameis Winston
  • What Jameis is most looking forward to in the future
