Episode 100 With A Legend; a chat w/ Zack Ssebatindira

This week's episode features a special guest, Coach Zach Ssebatindira, a Pharmaceutical industry professional with a strong interest in cancer therapies, diagnostics, and interventions. He was my former collegiate coach at Chestnut Hill College, and I even served as his assistant for another year. This episode is one of my favorites as we reconnect and reminisce.This episode might not be your typical story about a pro player like we've had before. It's more about the unique bond between a former player and coach. We get into all sorts of topics, from life conversations to friendly chit-chat. We talk about the value of relationships in the football world too. My hope is that listening to our chat will remind you of your own coach-player connections or bring back some great memories. If I can do that for you, then I consider this episode a success. So come join us as we celebrate this milestone and relish in the joy of reconnecting with old pals.
