Thanks for joining us this week on the RIOT Podcast, a Christian podcast talking about today’s hot topics! This week Pete, Bob and Barry will be discussing Football, who they think will win the Super Bowl and introduce their special guest former NFL Quarterback Jay Schroeder. They will discuss what it takes to compete at a high level and having the mental toughness to continue on during the spiritual battles on and off the field. They also discuss how we can influence the next generation to succeed by encouraging and uplifting them within those areas within their lives.
Today’s Show Sponsor is SGF-Foundation.org

Jay shares who his greatest influencer was by sharing the quote, “Football is what I DO and not who I AM” – Homer Smith, UCLA Coach

It is more important of who you are, than what you do; how do you want to be remembered as a person?
