I recently posed the question to Scott Player, New York Sentinels (UFL) punter, of what he has learned during his 10 year NFL career. His answer:
1. Don’t believe everything you hear
2. Believe in yourself
3. Be persistent
Scott’s career echoes his advice in that he did not break into the NFL until the age of 28. A chronology of his career after college:
1993-1994 school teacher
1995 semi-pro & in the Canadian Football League (Birmingham Barracudas)
1996 Arizona Cardinals training camp
1997 New York Giants training camp – allocated to the World League
1998-2006 Arizona Cardinals
2007 Cleveland Browns for 3 games
2008 New England Patriots off-season
2009 New York Sentinels of the United Football League
Scott was a Pro Bowl selection in 2000 and would not have had such a successful career if he did not adhere to his own advice. How can you learn from Scott’s career to help you reach your potential?
