Before You're Ready

My Path to the NFL: Trusting God’s Timing and the Process

Marissa Figueroa Season 1 Episode 1

In this very first episode of Before You’re Ready, I walk you through my journey to becoming an NFL Athletic Trainer—a story filled with rejection, faith, growth, and grit. I almost re-recorded this episode because I didn’t feel like it was perfect, but I realized redoing it would take away from the rawness and vulnerability of the message. So here it is, just as it came out—with my heart fully in it.

I talk about the sacrifices, the unexpected pivots, the silent seasons, and the people who supported me along the way. I also share the lessons I’ve learned—from treating every day like an interview to truly being where your feet are.

I don’t think I answered every single question someone might have, so if there’s anything you’re curious about, send me your questions! I’d love to continue the conversation in future episodes or on social.

Thank you for being here. Let's grow—before we’re ready!
