Bouncing Back from Rejection - Ex Football Player Shares His Comeback Story
Recently, I sat down with Alex Demczak, a former college quarterback turned author and speaker. Alex shares his journey of humility and perseverance.
Despite the tough setback of getting cut from the team, he stuck with it and found purpose in serving behind the scenes. His story reminds us that leadership requires no title. We also talk about the power of asking for help. Alex reached out to a mentor, which opened huge doors! His encouragement may give you the nudge to take action on a goal.
Alex leaves us with practical tips for starting a "side hustle" and figuring out your unique abilities. His wisdom can apply to any goal, like beginning a business, trying out for a team, or putting yourself out there. I hope you walk away feeling pumped up! Let me know what you found most helpful. Blessings to you all!
