In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Amir Carlisle, a former University of Notre Dame football wide receiver, co-founder of the Players Company, current Director of Player Development for the Notre Dame football team, and a founding member of LEARN. Join me as I catch up with Amir and delve into his impactful journey from the football field to his current roles.

Amir shares his inspiring football journey, the transition from player to mentor, and his return to Notre Dame in a significant leadership role. He discusses the importance of "finding your and," exploring interests and passions outside of sport. He shares how is own career-altering injury ultimately changed the course of his life, and has led him down a path of impact-driven work.

We explore the differences in college football now compared to a decade ago, highlighting the increased pressure on players due to social media and financial opportunities. Amir's dedication to the holistic development of players, focusing on them as individuals rather than just athletes, shines through as he shares his philosophy and its impact on his work.

Amir also discusses innovative experiences and initiatives designed for player development, including the Mindset Matters Gratitude Journal, which encourages a positive mindset and reflection among players.
