Superbowl Week Edition: The Championship Experience
In this special Super Bowl Week edition of “Unconventional Wisdom”, Scott Fujita, Brendon Ayanbadejo, and Gabe Kapler, take a look back at the before, during, and after of becoming a champion. The guys break down the process of preparing for the biggest games of their lives, and reveal that sometimes the biggest stresses have nothing to do with the competition itself. They share the memories that have stuck with them over time, and the things they wish they could do differently if the process played out all over again. Finally, they explain how one championship experience has changed their lives forever, and opened up their world in ways they never imagined.
