The DROPBAQ Podcast

Written by: BILL BURKE
  • Summary

  • This project was created to profile quarterbacks--uniquely skilled athletes who play the most demanding position in sports--to find out what they possess above the shoulders that leads to their success on the field and after their career ends. What can be learned from these signal callers by anyone looking to reach maximum potential in all areas of their lives? You will learn the crucial concepts of responding to adversity, communication, processing large amounts of information at once, leadership, preparation and decision making, which all play a pivotal part in being a successful QB. But they can also play a role in running a business, improving relationships, or taking on a new personal challenge. This aims to be a collection of stories and lessons from some of the most accomplished signal callers ever to play the position.

  • EP23: David Fales On Successfully Stepping Away From The Game You Love
    Nov 7 2022

    Welcome to another episode of the Dropbaq Podcast. I'm excited to bring you a great conversation with another former QB who took a couple of detours but ultimately achieved his dream of playing quarterback in the NFL. David Fales set records at San Jose State before being drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 6th round of the 2014 NFL draft. After side stepping pass rushers in a few more NFL cities, he began the more difficult job of figuring out who he is without the thing that had always defined him. If you're a former athlete who struggling to figure out your next steps, turn up the volume and listen closely to how David is approaching life outside the arena.

  • EP21: Chris Hixson On The Power Of The Position & The Cost Of Being Great
    Mar 27 2022

    Chris Hixson's passion for football, and more specifically, his passion for the position of quarterback is contagious. His QB career began by watching Roger Staubach on TV in Texas, playing his high school ball in Washington state, then moving across the U.S. to continue his development at the University of Rhode Island. After a successful career in the Arena League, Chris's focus eventually turned to the development of other young aspiring signal callers. Chris went on a mission to discover how to play the position more efficiently and the result has been an information processing system that he created with Super Bowl Champion Trent Dilfer. Chris believes he's developed the cheat code for how to play the sport's most mentally demanding position at the highest level.
