"Navigating Life's Gridiron: Transitioning from NFL Glory to the Civilian World"
In this riveting episode of The Travel Wins, I delve deep into the life and journey of an NFL star, Landon Turner. Known for his prowess on the football field, Landon has played for the New Orleans Saints and has now joined the Carolina Panthers for the 2019 season. But his journey started long before his NFL days; it began on the hallowed grounds of the University of North Carolina, where he dedicated four remarkable years to college football.
Landon's senior year at UNC was nothing short of spectacular. He emerged as the team captain, earning the prestigious title of 1st Team All-American and clinching the coveted Jim Parker Trophy for being the nation's best offensive lineman. With two NFL seasons under his belt and his third year with the Panthers in full swing, our conversation delves into the intriguing differences between life on the road as a college player and the challenges faced by NFL athletes.
But it doesn't stop there. We explore the unique role of being a full-time college athlete and how it can sometimes hinder one's ability to gain job or internship experiences while in college, putting them at a disadvantage compared to their non-athlete peers who have more time for other pursuits.
Landon Turner's insights and experiences are not only enlightening but also invaluable for anyone navigating the transition from a stellar sports career to the civilian world. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Landon for generously sharing his time with us and wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.
