Aswand Cruickshank joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss how football helped shape his life in many different facets.
Having the dream of playing D1, Aswand eventually got the opportunity when he committed to Stoney Brook University after an injury at his D2 school. While out with this injury he learned about the opportunities around him that had nothing to do with the sport, but could see ways to use these lessons to work for the NFL. Aswand worked for a gym while he watched others there create 6 figure incomes through sales of the gyms memberships and training programs.
Once back at school, he took a very entrepreneurial approach to the game..meaning he didn't want to be put into a box and told there was only one way to do something.
After his career was over, he went and worked back at these gyms selling memberships while working on a side hustle, Gym44. This eventually made Aswand broke and he had to build himself back up.
Through networking and trial/error, he was able to find out that he's a great speaker and motivator of others through his story and entrepreneurial spirit.
Aswand has 4 books that help different subsects of kids, a podcast that allows people to learn more about him and his thoughts, he works for a youth center to understand how he can greater help children, and crushes it on the speaking circuit!
