PODCAST: #031 Interview with RJ Feild

Football reaches and impacts so many lives in so many different ways. And for RJ Feild, it reached him in high school, and he wasn't even playing the game. So how does a young man become a football coach without even playing the game? What kept RJ from playing the game? Who reached out to him and introduced him to the game of football? And ho did it change his life forever? Your going to have to listen to find the answers to all these questions and more.

A fascinating part of his journey is that Coach Feild has a special condition that he was born with. He writes an essay for a competition and won! It is in regards to welfare and what happened to him. He introduced a bill that was on the floor of the State Capital to become a law. Check out a couple of clips that explain "RJs Law", and how Coach Feild was making an impact in his community and state even back in high school.
