#TUClassic: Overcoming Life’s Real Challenges with Tavon Wilson

Today on the show we’re talking with previous free safety for the Detroit Lions, Tavon Wilson about the difficulties he endured while growing up in the hood. Tavon talks about how he finds the extra motivation he needs, and who he can always look to in his life for inspiration. Tavon discusses what it’s like to go to the Super Bowl, and getting to share that experience with the most important people in his life. Tavon wasn’t invited to the NFL combine, but he knew he was better than the majority of those players, so he used the fact that he wasn’t invited to push himself even further. Highlights: Growing up without a proper support system Using that tough situation to become a better person How Tavon created his own supportive environment What position Tavon played in college and how that evolved into safety Not getting invited to the NFL combine was the best thing that could have happened The feeling of winning the Super Bowl Not getting challenged by coaches until the NFL How Tavon reacts to the haters in his life And much more… GET A COPY OF OWN YOUR POWER - AN AMAZON’S NUMBER 1 BOOK RELEASE!
