Episode 123: Tim Tebow

5 Questions With Dan Schawbel

My guest today is a professional athlete and author, Tim Tebow. Tim is a two-time national champion, first-round NFL draft pick, and Heisman Trophy winner. After playing for the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, and New England Patriots, he decided to pursue a career with the New York Mets as a left fielder and designated hitter. Sports aside, Tim has a passion for bringing faith, hope, and love to children everywhere with both his foundation and children’s book “Bronco and Friends”, which we discuss in this podcast episode.

The 5 questions I ask in this episode:

1. As someone who is known for being outspoken in their Christian faith, how does religion play a role in how you lead on and off the field?
2. Not many athletes have successfully transitioned between sports. What do you hope to accomplish in your baseball career that you weren’t able to in football?
3. You’ve written a children’s book at a time when children are witnessing a historical pandemic that’s left much learning at home in isolation. What would you say to give children, and their parents, hope for a brighter future?
4. You have dyslexia, and the main character in your book “Bronco” has a vision disability. How have you managed your disability and what do you recommend to both children and adults who have special needs?
5. What’s your best piece of career advice?
