Jonny Bridgewater
Bridgewater emphasizes early on about the importance of preparing for adversity through sports. As sports is a mentally tough challenge on any athlete, Bridgewater discusses how dealing with his own adversity has made his teachings better to his athletes. As he helps the likes of NFL prospects Braelon Allen and J.C Latham. Giving help to these players have helped shown him blessings in his own life.
The main thing Bridgewater wants to emphasize highly to his fellow athletes is the fundamentals that will help an athlete succeed. A simple switch in mentality can do all the right things, instead of thinking of trying not to do the wrong thing in your respective sport; you should switch your mindset to trying to do what you want to do.
