  • From NFL to Coaching: Phil McGeoghan on Mindset, Resilience & Purpose

    From NFL to Coaching: Phil McGeoghan on Mindset, Resilience & Purpose
    Sep 15 2025
    In the season finale of Connecting with Purpose, Mark Griffin sits down with former NFL wide receiver and accomplished coach Phil McGeoghan for a powerful conversation on mindset, resilience, and finding purpose beyond sport. Phil’s journey is filled with defining “magic moments”—from his first varsity catch in high school, to breaking records at the University of Maine, to running out of the tunnel as a Denver Bronco. Each experience shaped his confidence, mental toughness, and ability to perform under pressure. But his story goes far deeper than highlight reels and game-day victories. After injury abruptly ended his playing career, Phil faced the same challenge many athletes encounter: the loss of identity and purpose. He candidly reflects on the struggle of transition, the unhealthy coping mechanisms that often follow, and how discipline, community, and service helped him rebuild. That shift led him into coaching, where he discovered a new calling—developing others. From small programs to the NFL sidelines, Phil found meaning in lifting up athletes, mentoring underdogs, and helping players like Matt Mulligan reach their potential. His “purpose formula” comes alive in stories of passion, impact, and application rooted in service. Today, Phil continues that mission through Turnkey Athlete Solutions, a “virtual locker room” designed to support athletes as they move beyond the field. By bridging gaps in identity, accountability, and community, the program helps student-athletes and professionals alike navigate life after sports with clarity and confidence. This authentic and inspiring conversation is packed with hard-earned wisdom, humor, and practical takeaways. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, leader, or anyone navigating change, Phil’s message will resonate: believe in yourself, surround yourself with people who pull you up, and when you climb higher—throw the ladder down for others. Subscribe to Connecting with Purpose for more conversations that explore the moments that shape us, the clarity that guides us, and the purpose that fuels leaders, athletes, and change-makers. #ConnectingWithPurpose #PhilMcGeoghan #NFL #AthleteTransition #Leadership #MindsetMatters #Resilience #Coaching #PurposeDriven

    Apr 19 2025

From his time as Associate Editor at Sports Illustrated and Storyteller in Residence for National Geographic, to his current work as a coach helping executives build cultures of greatness, Don’s insights are rooted in deep curiosity and real-world experience.

    In this conversation, Don shares three powerful “10 out of 10” life moments—from surviving cancer and embracing fatherhood later in life, to witnessing the radical power of forgiveness. He reminds us that life happens in seasons, and purpose is found not just in what we achieve, but in how we connect and contribute. We explore what it means to lead with intention, tell stories that matter, and make each day your masterpiece.
