Manage episode 443169615 series 2435988
In this episode of Beyond Sets and Reps, I connect with University of Virginia former running back Perris Jones to discuss his remarkable journey through adversity and the lessons he's learned along the way. Perris opens up about his academic and athletic experiences, including earning three degrees and overcoming a career-threatening spinal injury sustained during a game against the University of Louisville. He shares the emotional and psychological impact of the injury, as well as his remarkable recovery, which he attributes to the support of his family, coaches, and medical staff.
Perris also reflects on the importance of teamwork, mentorship, and staying resilient in the face of challenges. He emphasizes his desire to inspire others by creating a nonprofit called "No Stars" to help young athletes reach their full potential, regardless of their perceived status or ranking. The episode concludes with a discussion on his plans to launch a podcast with his roommate, Michael Hollins, to provide a platform for ordinary people to share their extraordinary stories, and his continued passion for helping others as a motivational speaker.
