This week on the Good Medicine Podcast, Dr. David Bearss sits down with former NFL wide receiver Austin Collie for an inspiring conversation about life in professional football, the challenges that come with it, and what it means to pursue — and pass on — a dream.
Austin opens up about the intense reality of playing at the highest level: balancing the pressure to stay on the field with the risks of stepping away to recover. He shares how players managed the physical toll of the game, including the role of anti-inflammatories and the constant pursuit of feeling just a little bit better.
But most importantly, Austin reflects on the opportunities football gave him and why he still encourages his kids to chase their own dreams.
This episode offers a rare inside look at the highs, the hardships, and the lasting lessons of life in the NFL.
