How This Dad Went From Pro Soccer Player to Children’s Book Author | Interview w/ Jason Herrick

If you’re a dad, let me ask you this, how difficult is it to see your life plans go out the window?

Like, maybe before you became a husband and father, you had plans of what you were gonna accomplish in life.

That infamous question we get as kids, “what do you wanna be when you grow up?”

Some of us were so sure we wanted to be a in a specific profession and then we get there and something happens that completely throws out plans out the window.

I used to be a Christian Hip Hop Rapper and those plans I had of making a career out of that went out the window for me.

And even though it can be soul crushing to have your dreams fade, there’s always a light at the end of that dark tunnel that leads us to something better.

In today’s episode, I had the honor of interviewing Jason Herrick.

Jason grew up playing soccer and was well on his way to a professional career in the sport. He played for the University of Maryland and was also an ACC and National Champion. But everything changed after playing his first professional game where he was forced into medical retirement due to a head injury.

That event changed the course of Jason’s life forever as he had to wrestle with the medical system for 10 years to figure out what was wrong with him, until he figured out how to heal himself. Throughout that journey, Jason became a soccer coach helping out a number of young heroes that crossed his path.

He gave his life to Christ and became a believer. And most recently Jason has become a children’s book author, writing his first story called “My Jesus Song’ that originated as a story he would tell his 2 boys. He’s actually launching a series of books, with the second one in the works as we speak.

Please enjoy my conversation with Jason Herrick as we dive into his story and find out more about how he shifted his mindset and purpose even after losing all of the plans he had of going pro. You won’t wanna miss this.
