Episode 12:
In this episode of Athletes Rewired, I sit down with former NFL fullback John Conner, known to many as “The Terminator”. We dive into his journey from college to professional athlete, exploring both the highs of reaching the NFL and the difficult realities of what happens when that chapter ends.
John shares what surprised him most about life after football, the challenges of rebuilding his identity beyond the game, and how he found a new sense of purpose once the stadium lights went dark. His perspective sheds light on the emotional side of transition, reminding us that success in athletics doesn’t always guarantee clarity or ease in the next phase of life.
This is an honest, inspiring conversation for anyone navigating life after sport, preparing for their own transition, or simply curious about what really goes on behind the scenes in professional athletics.
