Building a Legacy Through Coaching with Eddie George

The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today's episode, I'm joined by Eddie George, the legendary Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL running back, who shares how his journey off the field led him to entrepreneurship, acting, and coaching. Eddie talks about the challenges of transitioning from football to business, acting on Broadway, and earning his MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. He discusses his unexpected path to becoming the head coach at Tennessee State University and how he uses his experiences to inspire young athletes. Eddie reflects on the art of leadership, storytelling, and overcoming adversity, both on and off the field.
