Episode Description
Welcome to the Inaugural episode of Life After The Game with your host LaMar Campbell. Many times with athletes we tend to only focus only on what you see on the hardwood, the gridiron, the diamond, the ice or even the track. The point is we only see what they do when we see them on the television and that in itself shapes our opinions on theses athletes. However , sometime we tend to forget that there is a Life After The Game for our athletes. Many times the business aspect of sports will get lost, the individuals philanthropic efforts, the businesses that they own, they family men and women that they are. This week we have the pleasure of Marcus Stroud from the New England Patriots on the show where we will be discussing is Non-Profit weekend and his fight to Sack Childhood Obesity! This is Life After The Game!
