Show Notes:

Rich Spotlight: Dan Orlovsky Has played sports his whole life and remembers his dad telling him that he would play on Sunday’s one day UConn was a team that stayed committed to recruiting him throughout high school and decided to attend there to do something that people didn’t think could be done Very difficult challenge of moving UConn football team from Division I-AA to Division I and the Big East Conference Turning point for success at UConn was after Freshman year and the big moment was eventually beating Iowa St Life of an NFL back-up QB is very tough at times because you do everything the same as the starting QB throughout the week but you don’t get to play on Sunday The challenge is how to prove your worth on a 53-man roster when you don’t get to play on Sunday Decided to retire because the love of the grind was gone Mentors in his career have been Jon Kitna, Josh McCown, Mike Furrey, Dave Wilson and Matt Schaub Doesn’t know where he would be without sports and specifically football and not only from the financial perspective Football helped challenge him not only physically but also mentally as you push yourself in competition TV broadcasting is his next career goal and signed with ESPN as a football analyst joining the network for college football broadcasting and providing a role as an NFL analyst Words of Wisdom from Dan Orlovsky: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” from coach Randy Edsall
