We heard from George Pickens and reacted. BREAKING NEWS! ANDREW PETCASH. NICK KOSTOS - Nick said he could see the Steelers being the #7 in the AFC. He thinks the line on the game is right.

BRIAN BALDINGER- Doesn't think Trubisky really played winning football last week. Thinks that if George Pickens has one catch for three yards again that it's a travesty.

Andrew Petcash is the definition of a self-starter.

Andrew manages an increasingly growing team on one of the hottest new sports apps on the market.

Finding purpose after college sports can be a huge challenge. However, athletes that apply their passions in a creative and entrepreneurial way go on to earn professional success.My guest on this episode, Andrew Petcash, is one of those athletes. Andrew is a former Division I basketball player for Boston University and now a sports technology innovator.Andrew is an entrepreneur seeking to disrupt the athletic recruiting process through a new platform called Athletes in Recruitment.AIR is a cross between a dating app and LinkedIn that helps high school student-athletes find the perfect match with a college program.In Episode 25, Andrew talks about his own recruiting journey and how he is using his experience to build a technology-based recruiting solution for young athletes and their families.My suggestion to young athletes is to apply the same drive and intensity that you had as a college athlete to whatever professional endeavor that you pursue. Your experiences as the consummate risk-taker will be extremely valuable in the business world.I want to thank Andrew for his kind generosity and the wisdom he shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.You can follow Andrew on Twitter @AndrewPetcash and Instagram @collegeathleteinsight.You can learn more about The Freshman Foundation on our website at freshmanfoundation.com.Thank you for listening.
