Team, we are back for another episode of The Epic Table podcast! If this is your first time here, this is a podcast dedicated to inspiring conversations withthe world's most remarkable health experts and thought leaders. Today we are joined by Jeremy Hills, former Texas running back, and top athletic trainer. Jeremy is known best for his work training athletes in the NFL, MLB, and NBA. Jeremy had a dream of making it to the NFL, but after sustaining an injury at the University of Texas, reality kicked in and he had to think about a complete career change. In this episode, Jeremy talks about the odd jobs he took to stay alive after being injured, we learn how Jeremy found his true calling as a trainer upon being let go from his job at a medical sales company, and Jeremy gives insight into his first job as a personal trainer, which came from working with his former high school football team for free. After years of consistency, hard work, and perseverance, an opportunity came to help former Longhorn and All-Pro Earl Thomas recover from injury, which helped catapult Jeremy's career. We also talk about how the path he chose led him to open the Kollective, a training facility devoted to hard work, working out, networking and much more.Specifically, we discuss...Jeremy's experience playing with the Texas Longhornsthe reality of being an elite athleteWhat it takes to learn from the bestHe discusses what it takes to get athletes ready for the NFL CombineThe journey & process of transitioning from medical sales to training high-level athletesThe challenges of figuring out your purpose in a new careerResources...Kollective Website - ( https://thekollective.com/ ).Insatgram - (@Kollective.inc https://www.instagram.com/kollective.inc/?hl=en).(@JHills5 https://www.instagram.com/jhills5/?hl=en).Check out Jeremy's Website - ( https://www.jhills.com/ ).
