I don't think we can lead others until we lead ourselves, until we figure that out, until we do some self-reflection.
What happens when the discipline of the football field meets the harsh realities of combat? In this milestone 50th episode of 'Chase The Vase', host Brock Bevell welcomes Chad Jenkins, a man who knows a thing or two about leadership and resilience. Chad’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. As the starting quarterback for Army during the memorable 2001 Army-Navy football game, he faced immense pressure not long after the September 11 attacks.
His story is chronicled in the book 'All American: Two Young Men, the 2001 Army-Navy Game and the War They Fought in Iraq' by Steve Eubanks. But Chad's story doesn't end on the football field. After his college years, he took on even greater challenges by joining the elite Army Rangers. Leading men in combat patrols in Iraq, Chad had to navigate constant ambushes, IEDs, and the mental toll of long deployments.
His experience in the military was intense, with staggering odds of injury and even death facing his comrades daily. This episode dives deep into how Chad's football training prepared him for military leadership. He shares candidly about his struggles with PTSD and how he found a path to healing through self-reflection and unconditional love. This conversation isn't just about war stories; it's a testament to human resilience and the power of empathy in overcoming life's toughest battles.
Whether you're interested in military tales, leadership lessons, or stories of personal growth, this episode offers something for everyone. Brock Bevell’s ability to draw out these powerful narratives makes for an episode you won’t want to miss.
