Show Notes:
- Rich Spotlight: David Cone
- Has always loved participating regardless of what it is but football was his first passion
- Wants to compete against the best and that’s why he wanted to attend Statesboro High School instead of the private school in Statesboro, GA
- Helped Statesboro High win the Georgia state football championship his senior season after coming up short previous years
- Signed with the University of Michigan with head coach Lloyd Carr and decided to stay at the school even though he knew he wouldn’t get a chance to start once new head coach Rich Rodriguez was hired
- Ohio St./Michigan rivalry is unlike any other and there’s a deep hatred but it’s centered on respect
- Music has always been a big part of his life and he taught himself how to play the guitar watching YouTube videos
- Creating films and telling stories is another passion and after winning a film festival contest and getting a scholarship for film school in Atlanta he knew he wanted to pursue film directing
- Released first single “So Close” in December 2017 and first album “Welcome Home” in February 2018
- Sports helped develop and establish discipline in his life as well as understanding the importance of delayed gratification
- Words of Wisdom from David Cone: “What you want in life can be out there but it takes a level of work and discipline that’s unknown to mankind and that gets rewarded on the backend.”
