Donald Driver on Confidence, Mindset & Driven Flag Football | SPIRE Sessions Ep. 3

Описание: In Episode 3 of SPIRE Sessions with Dr. Zac Bruback, Zac sits down with Super Bowl champion, philanthropist, and longtime Green Bay Packer Donald Driver to talk mindset, purpose, and what it really means to develop as both an athlete and a human being.

Donald shares how growing up as the third of 17 siblings shaped his competitiveness, how football and track opened doors for him, and why playing multiple sports helped him develop physically, mentally, and emotionally. He and Zac explore the lessons of team vs. individual sports, the role of confidence, and the importance of learning to embrace criticism, adversity, and failure along the way.

The conversation also dives into Donald’s passion for service through the Donald Driver Foundation, his commitment to expanding opportunities for girls flag football through his Driven Flag Football organization, and why he believes partnerships like SPIRE help young athletes build not just skills—but identity, relationships, and purpose beyond sports.

Plus, in a new rapid-fire segment, Dr. Zac puts Donald on the spot with questions about his toughest championship, favorite cheat meal, first “welcome to the NFL” moment, and the big one: if he had to catch one ball across the middle, would he rather have Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers throwing it? Donald also shares his favorite book, the music artist he’s listening to right now, and the one mindset skill he believes every young athlete should master.

From NFL memories and Dancing With the Stars to leadership, resilience, and enjoying the journey, this episode offers an inspiring look at how intentional environments like SPIRE help shape the next generation of student-athletes.

SPIRE is proud to announce a partnership with Donald Driver and his Driven Flag Football program to bring girls flag football to SPIRE and Northeast Ohio. Donald was on campus hosting the first of many girls flag football clinics, drawing athletes from across the greater Cleveland area and building excitement for what’s ahead.
