Our Guest:
Andrew Walker is currently getting a masters degree at University of Indianapolis with one more season left to play football. It worked out well for Andrew because he got redshirted the first two years, first year was a regular redshirt and the next year was medical redshirt because he tore his labrum in his shoulder. After getting hurt he was in a pretty dark place because he wasn't used to not being on the field and never had surgery before in his life. From that point he started changing his way of thinking and started feeding his mind with positivity. Which lead him to creating his brand “Cours” which stands for “Course”, a clothing company named Cours Clothing. Andrew developed a formula that we hear about everyday but took that and applied it full force to his brand and created a movement with his clothing brand while in college.
