Ep 78 | The Focused Driven Athlete: Athletic Spotlight | Chase Griffin | UCLA Football & Entrepreneur

Chase Griffin, former quarterback for the UCLA Bruins, joins Glenn on the Field for the next installment of the Focused Driven Athlete: Athletic Spotlight. The 2x NIL Athlete of the year, shares how playing football in Hutto, TX, under the Friday night lights prepared him for the highs and lows of the Pac-12.  Chase reflects on how throwing for over 10,000 career yards and 100 TDs in high school led to multiple D-1 offers and being recruited to play for UCLA.  He also opens up about overcoming the mental burdens of being a backup quarterback, channeling his on-the-field competitiveness into off-the-field success, and why excelling in the classroom was just as important as winning on the field. Chase discusses becoming the only college football player to testify before Congress for NIL rights, his commitment to athlete empowerment, and how his academic-athletic foundation led him to pursue work in capital markets that intersect at sports, media law, and policy.
