#85 - Curtis Martin: Never Loved Football, But Became a Hall of Famer
NFL Hall of Famer Curtis Martin shares the raw truth behind his legendary career: he never really loved football. Despite becoming the sixth all-time leading rusher in NFL history, Curtis reveals that football was simply a vehicle for a deeper purpose, and his greatest accomplishment had nothing to do with the game.
Curtis opens up about surviving extreme childhood violence in Pittsburgh, having a gun held to his head, finding his grandmother brutally murdered, and becoming "the man of the house" at age four. He shares the extraordinary story of helping his mother forgive his father after 22 years of bitterness, making a deal with God at 20 convinced he wouldn't live past 21, and why consistency, not talent, became his superpower.
From navigating a world where 30 friends were murdered before graduation to setting out to finish his career with "a name worth more than the money I made," Curtis reveals what it truly means to live with purpose, conquer fear, and die empty. If you've ever struggled with forgiveness or wondered how to turn pain into purpose, this conversation will change your perspective.
