Exploring leadership through football: A Father and Son’s Journey

In this episode, Tim sits down with Kevin Chadwick again, but this time, he also welcomes his son, Kevin Junior (KJ), to explore the intersection of leadership, parenting, and a child's pursuit of their own greatness. Kevin discusses his journey of coaching his son from a young age in Texas to now playing Division 1 college football, highlighting the challenges and joys of balancing career and fatherhood. He shares insights on the importance of being present in his children's lives and how sports have served as a valuable platform for instilling leadership qualities.

KJ provides his perspective as a student-athlete, detailing the rigors of balancing a mechanical engineering major with football commitments. He expresses gratitude for the guidance and lessons learned from both his father and coaches. He also discusses how he can't settle for where he's at and must be focused on continual improvement, how he had to overcome difficult times during the pandemic to fulfill his dream, and how he focuses on building relationships with his teammates.
