My goal is to figure out the tips and tricks of professional football players and also to give you a glimpse into their personal and professional lives. In this episode, I talk to
Naaman Roosevelt. Naaman is a current slot back with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and my grandmas favourite player. Not just because of his playing style on the field but also because his contribution to the community and his outside interests. Naaman has inspired me to make the best out of the opportunities in life cause we only get so few
And that you get and to be more rounded to take time for other hobbies I have. He has inspired me to paint my own cleats and write my own rap music. My favourite part of our interview was when we did a rap off I sang one of my songs and he sang one about his childhood friend who passed away but without further ado I hope you enjoy
But without further ado I hope you enjoy!

This interview is brought to you by The Canadian Brewhouse. I go to The Canadian Brewhouse all the time to watch my favourite sports because of the atmosphere. With the amount of TVs around it is impossible to miss a second. The Brewhouse is also the place that I go to on my cheat days. With the flavour of their poutine and burgers, its always a reward!
This interview is brought to you by the Casey Foundation. This year the Casey Foundation is celebrating its twelfth year anniversary. Twelve years of dedication and countless hours, all to achieve a goal that they set when they started. And through those twelve years they’ve greatly impacted children with autism, allowing them to receive services and assisting them with their unique needs, which is often unaffordable for kids in need.
Check out their website and donate money at Casey Foundation to enrich the lives of children with autism.
