Training for Tokyo is a tough road, and perhaps one of the toughest athletes we heard from is this week's guest: Perry Baker on Team USA for rugby. Baker is on the hunt for gold after losing in Rio to Team Fiji. Fiji ended up being the world champions that year. You can say Perry has a chip on his shoulder and is looking to bounce back in Japan.
Baker has quite the sports background. Thanks to his quick speed, he achieved his dream of making it to the NFL. Unfortunately, he had to be pulled out due to injury. Baker opens up about turning his so-called failure into opportunity and how the incident, with the help of his famous uncle, led to a thriving career in professional rugby.
