TGM Classic | Jimmy Farris | How I Grappled With Loss of Identity After Retiring From NFL

In today’s show, Darius interviews Jimmy Farris. Jimmy is a former American football wide receiver who retired from the NFL in 2009. Farris has been a member of the Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, and New England Patriots.

In this episode, Jimmy and I talked about:

  • How to find another “mountaintop to scale” – rediscovering your motivation in life
  • Is all the tribute and adulation for you or for your position?
  • How to be your absolute best
  • And other topics…

Meet Jimmy:

In 2001, Jimmy Farris signed his first NFL contract with the San Francisco 49ers and achieved a goal he set for himself when he was 10 years old. He spent the next 7 years in the NFL, won a Super Bowl with the Patriots, and lived his dream. And then at the age of 30… it was over. Through his football career, he learned lessons about what it takes to be a High Performer, how to come back from failure, and how to live your absolute best self every single day. Jimmy is now a performance coach and hosts the Be a Pro livestream.
