Welcome to Unbreakable! A mental wealth podcast hosted by Fox NFL Insider Jay Glazer. On today’s episode, Jay goes inside the huddle with David Vobora, retired NFL Linebacker and Founder of the non-profit Adaptive Training Foundation. Vobora was selected by the St. Louis Rams with the final pick (252nd overall) in the 2008 NFL draft, earning him the title of Mr. Irrelevant. However, a series of devastating shoulder injuries left him with an addiction to painkillers. The drugs left him helpless, standing on the balcony of a Hawaiian hotel while on vacation, threatening to jump. But it was not until he went through a detox, losing 34 pounds, that he began to listen to the motivator inside him. He is now using that inner voice to helping others. David’s story is truly remarkable! Follow, rate & review Unbreakable with Jay Glazer here! https://link.chtbl.com/unbreakablewithjayglazer #fsrSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are some of Micah's icks? Oh.. he'll tell you alright. Once again, we talk about the Spirit furloughs and rumors surrounding the news. Which do you like better the 737 or the A320? Apparently I'm old… which is why I think the 737 is a better looking plane. I encourage my friend Victor to continue on his aviation journey despite his age and I finally reveal the reason Micah is my favorite spotter of all time! This and more in today's episode.  Let's go!About Micah:Micah, a ramp lead for Alaska Airlines in Salt Lake City, UT, caught the aviation bug early on. As a kid in California, he'd gaze up at the sky, dreaming of piloting "family-sized planes" whenever those little Cessnas zoomed overhead. His love for planes soared even higher around 2016 when he discovered flight simulator videos – and let's just say, he hasn't landed since! When Micah got his driver's license, his dad gave him the classic "get a job" talk. So, naturally, Micah took off (pun intended) to the airport for work. Starting off with Prospect, where he rolled with wheelchair service, Micah's journey eventually led him to the Alaska Airlines ramp gig in late 2022. Sure, he's not a big shot mainline employee, but Micah's loving every moment of his job. From wrangling planes to juggling bags, chatting with pilots, and maybe even moving a jet bridge or two, there's never a dull moment. Plus, bonding with coworkers over card games adds an extra bit of fun to his day. Micah's grateful to be living his dream and is always ready to take flight into another awesome workday!Follow Micah!Instagram: kslc_aviatorREACH OUT!Submit your questions or aviation stories to the showContact: mannythecfi@gmail.comInstagram: climbvxBOOK YOUR APPEARANCE ON THE SHOWInterview availability dates

On April 11, 2011 former Marine, Brian Aft stepped on an IED in Kajaki, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, while on a routine foot patrol. The blast ended up taking both of his legs, and ultimately leading him down a very dark path. He turned to hardcore drugs to numb the pain, and simply get through every day life as a double amputee. Then one day he was approached by former NFL linebacker, David Vobora in a parking lot. Vobora approached Brian with such enthusiasm that Aft thought the giant former pro football player was going to mug him. It turns out, Vobora simply wanted to know what happened to Aft, and if Brian was interested in joining his gym, the Adaptive Training Foundation, as a means of recovering physically, mentally, and from drug addiction. Hear about Brian Aft’s unlikely road to recovery with the help of a former NFLer, on this special episode of HAZARD GROUND! www.adaptivetrainingfoundation.org | www.highfivesfoundation.org This week’s episode is brought to you by all of our sponsors: PATAGONIA, FIVE TEN/ADIDAS, HYDRO FLASK, ONNIT, MOOSEJAW, MOUNTAIN GEAR, & UNCHARTED SUPPLY CO.

Former "Mr. Irrelevant" David Vobora, the last pick in the '08 NFL draft, worked his way into the Rams starting lineup, only to find himself addicted to painkillers after out of a job after blowing out his shoulder. One year into retirement, he began a career in personal training, but something was missing. Unsure of his "Why" in life, Vobora met US Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills, one of only five living quad amputees. That meeting changed both of their lives forever, and created the passion behind the 'Adaptive Training Foundation', now empowering adaptive athletes/vets find their own why! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/les-norman/support

You might not think you’d be inspired by someone nicknamed “Mr. Irrelevant.” But former football player David Vobora, who was given the moniker for being the last selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, calls it an “honorable title.” Vobora speaks with Ellis about training athletes, people with disabilities and American veterans, and sheds light on how an addiction to painkillers nearly destroyed his life.

In today’s episode, Eva and Olga welcome David Vobora, former NFL linebacker and founder of the Adaptive Training Foundation. For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/54

Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, lost both legs and nearly both arms while fighting in Afghanistan in 2012. When this week’s guest, strength and conditioning coach David Vobora, invited him to train at his gym he could hardly take the offer seriously, but accept it he did. It was from this improbable meeting that Adaptive Training Foundation was born. Join former Navy SEALs, Marcus Luttrell, and guest co-host Clint Bruce, as they sit down with Vobora for a dynamic and inspiring discussion into how his own #NeverQuit story is directly related to his new mission in life, training “Re-calibrated Carnivores.” Former NFL linebacker Vobora is breaking new ground for veterans with life-altering injuries by creating a pathway to adaptive sports. He never imagined that discovering that his own #NeverQuit story, and injury which ended his football career, which lead to depression and prescription medication abuse, would be road to recovery made possible through his passion for the innovative healing of others. He goes into depth with Marcus and Clint about the power of utilizing one’s pain and scars to activate growth, and that just because a warrior becomes physically disabled, that doesn’t mean they’ve lost the need to compete and fight the combat of life. Additionally, Vobora poses the question to Marcus, “how do you deal with the word hero?” and it’s an answer you won’t want to miss. Once again, the TNQ Podcast team, along with fascinating guest, David Vobora, bring you the powerful tools of the Never Quit mindset. All you need to do is pick them up, and have the courage to start using them in your own life to drive forward toward your goals. We believe you can do it. Don’t forget to spread the word about the TNQ Podcast among friends and family. Also, please remember to share your own, or someone you know, Never Quit story with the community HERE on the website.
