Competitive Soccer, Overcoming Injury, and Building a Career w/ Ricky Mupier
My guest today, Ricky Mupier, has a pretty incredible story to share, most of which I didn't even know until we sat down and began talking.Ricky is a former Division 1 Men's Soccer Player at Houston Baptist University, despite having a near career-ending leg injury while in high school. Following his collegiate career, he was signed to a semi-pro roster in Denmark, where he traveled Europe playing the game that he loved. He ultimately decided to hang up the cleats and return to America, where he eventually met his wife, Chelsea, and his business partner, Sean.Ricky's story is one of continuous mental fortitude and never giving up. The cards were stacked against him several times throughout the course of his life, but his faith in God and the support system that he kept allowed him to always stay positive and continue to fight. He now is the Operations Manager and partner at Rise Gym.We all struggle at times in life. Life can be hard. Life can kick us in the teeth. We may feel sad, we may feel self-pity, we may wonder why bad things are happening to us. But by surrounding yourself with people who care about you, continuing to fight, and always maintaining a positive outlook, you will make it through those dark days.Follow me on Instagram:Show: @setthebarpodBen: @bentoddfit
