FFP65: How did Dr. Empress Rose Green turn adversity on the track to opportunity in her life?

Have you EVER made lemonade out of bad lemons in YOUR athletic career?

Welcome to "The Freshman Foundation", a podcast that helps young athletes and their families BE READY for every next step in the game of life.

Today, we host Dr. Empress Rose Green, a former track star turned coach due to a career-ending injury. Now, she's revolutionizing the narrative around sports and entrepreneurship. From her Jamaican spirit and pride in sports to her evolution as an entrepreneur, she shares her story of resilience and adaptation.

Rose offers insights into the sacrifices entrepreneurship demands, and how her sports background instilled in her discipline, mindset, and perseverance. We also discuss the parallels between sports and business: two arenas where significant investments often come without guaranteed success.

So, what was your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Dr. Empress Rose Green?

My biggest takeaway is the power of resilience and unyielding persistence. Life may throw curveballs, and sometimes, it might seem like a dead-end. But as Rose beautifully puts it, "there is always another day, there is always a way out, there is always someone who has it worse." 

The key is to keep going. No matter the circumstances, no matter the setbacks, the focus should always be on moving forward.

I strongly encourage everyone, whether you're an athlete, student, or a professional, to internalize this invaluable lesson of resilience. By maintaining your perseverance in the face of adversity, you can navigate life's challenges and come out stronger.

I want to thank Rose for her kind generosity and the wisdom she shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.
