In episode #136 of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, we’re joined by Alex Zettler, former Texas A&M football player and current Georgia Southern coach, and his father Brian Zettler, a legendary athletic trainer who’s worked with the Dallas Cowboys, Utah Jazz, and Dallas Mavericks. Together, they share profound insights into what it takes to leave a lasting legacy in sports—not through stats or accolades, but through perseverance, character, and service. The Zettlers reflect on their individual journeys, from Alex’s experience as a college athlete to Brian’s remarkable career in the sports world. They discuss the true meaning of success, emphasizing how it’s not just about winning games, but about the impact you have on others. Whether you’re a player, coach, or support staff, the lesson is clear: great athletes and professionals are those who uplift others and leave a mark that goes beyond the field or court. Key takeaways from this episode: Perseverance is key: Success isn’t about immediate results; it’s about staying focused and pushing forward despite challenges. Character over recognition: True greatness is built on strong character, not just statistics or awards. Service to others: The legacy of those who serve others—whether through coaching, training, or supporting teammates—leaves the most lasting impact. This conversation is a testament to the power of service, hard work, and the importance of setting an example for others in the sports world and beyond. Tune in to learn from the Zettlers about what it means to leave a legacy that truly matters.

Split Zone Duo's “Offseason Vibe Check” series rolls on with the Sun Belt. It's not a 2024 recap, and it's not a 2025 preview. It's a check-in with every team in every FBS conference about what's been happening since Thanksgiving. How was the postseason? How was the coach carousel? How was signing day? How was the transfer portal window? And is anything else going on around your program? In this week's Sun Belt episode, Alex Kirshner and Richard Johnson discuss: * Louisiana's sour ending after being the most low-key playoff contender until the final days of the season * Marshall's tumultuous end of the season and coaching change * App State's Dowell Loggains era starts with winning hearts and minds* Coastal Carolina cleans house … except for the head coach * Butch Jones and Arkansas State are in it for the long haul * Charles Huff finds his life raft at a downtrodden Southern Miss* Texas State hangs onto GJ Kinne after it didn't look likely * Georgia Southern gives Clay Helton a contract extension that isn't outrageous but doesn't make a lot of sense * James Madison tries a bespoke approach in the portal, and it should lead to the Dukes being favorites in the league * Georgia State's recruiting blitz under Dell McGee picks up * A snippet from friend of the program Justin Ferguson of the Auburn Observer, talking about the situations at Troy and South Alabama Offseason Vibe Checks so far * The SEC Producer: Anthony Vito This is a public episode.
