Nate Ebner: 3x Super Bowl Champion NFL Safety/Olympian Rugby Player: CONVICTION & SACRIFICE, MAKING EFFORT THE CONTROL NOT A VARIABLE, SETTING STANDARDS, COMPETITIVE MINDSET, SLAYING THE SELFISH BEAST, BATTLING DARK PLACES, RUGBY & FOOTBALL TRAINING
Nate Ebner is a 3x Super Bowl Champion, 10 year NFL veteran, and an Olympian with the USA Rugby 7s Team and author of Finish Strong: A father's code, and a son's path. He gives great insights into the mental and physical framework he applies to overcome anything that stands in front of him. He talks on his upbringing and the blue collar confidence instilled in him by his father. Nate articulates the logic of controlling what you can and going all in to avoid dealing with regret. He talks on his years with the Patriots and the culture there under Head Coach Bill Belichick as well as the physical and mental battle to make the 2016 Olympic Rugby Team. He speaks on the power of what true commitment, sacrifice, and conviction mean to him. Powerful look at the way he's built confidence and maintained his focus to excel as a professional athlete for a decade.
