Resilience and Adversity from the CFL: Interview with Brett MacNeil: S5E4

Interview with Brett MacNeil

Born in Nepean, Onterio, Brett is a true Canadian. After a college football career at Colgate University and then Boston University, he decided to go play in the CFL. One, it gave him a chance to start and two, he can be home and play where he lived and grew up. Win win.
He was drafted in the first round by the Ottawa Rough Riders and ended his career with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
In Brett's career he was a CFL All-Star, won the Ed Kotowich Award(Canada's version of the Walter Payton award), and is in the Winnipeg Football Club's Hall of Fame.
Brett was known as one of the most intense players in Bomber history.

After his CFL career, Brett tried a few things. He opened a martial art studio, while coaching at the University of Manitoba and running a security company.

Though all of this, Brett took what he learned from football to help him move on.  He learned adversity, resilience, teamwork and most of all, the Will to Win.

Now Brett a Senior Account Executive at 3M as well as a board member of the CFL Alumni association and board member of Winnipeg Blue Bomber Alumni Association.
