Unrestricted Free Agent Podcast
This podcast is for the former athlete, current athlete, now pro, former pro. If you played at a high level you deserve to be recognized. We often throw out the percentages of players who get a chance to play collegiately or even professionally. Lesser times do we look into those who don't make it, those who lost love for the game, those with devastating injuries, those with outside and societal factors that don't allow them to just be athletes anymore, and the psychological effects this has on us and especially us black men. This is our first career failure in our adult lives oftentimes and being around it all the time you can see the effect it has on young minds and I believe that is worth some support and a deeper look. This podcast allows you to brag about yourself while also discussing everything from culture, music, to sports, and reminisce in a healthy way. So often we see jokes that float talking about men who are older all saying "they could have played professionally had it not been for a knee injury" or something of that nature. As I have gotten older I actually have found that there are a lot of people where that is actually their reality and what is jokes for some is a harsh reminder to others but they are put down instead of celebrated. That is why this is to talk about the life outside of sports as well as provide support and resources for whatever career pursuits and passions they plan to undertake after sports. Sports have been a refuge, family, and community for so many people and it is about time to start giving back when they can no longer entertain and play for the crowds and fans.
