On the Field of his Dreams with NFL SuperStar Chris Ogbonnaya Join us as Chris takes a moment to share with us what give him his competitive edge and the secrets to his success. RAINE: What was your biggest obstacle reaching your sports career goals? OGBONNAYA: The first time I ever got cut was in 2009. After flying collegiately - you always were on scholarship. For the first time, there was not that job security. After it happens a few times, you understand that this is a business and you have to have a thick skin - as one door closes, another door opens. It humbles you and you understand that it is a privilege to play and not a right. RAINE: Did you have any childhood entrepreneurial pursuits? What was the earliest experience? OGBONNAYA: In high school, we use to do this thing called Spring Fling. We had to sell booklets in exchange for rewards, i.e. a day off of school - you were responsible for the sum of your group. The idea behind Spring Fling was to help the group understand that in order to receive rewards, everyone needed to pull together and perform to reach our goals. RAINE: Tell us about your interest in helping under privileged youth? OGBONNAYA: I have always understood that as an athlete and being in the spotlight, you have to set an example to kids, families and what have you. I try to dedicate myself to being shown in a positive light. RAINE: What is one fitness fact that you would like to share with our readers? OGBONNAYA: Run, run, run - that’s what I do. In order to be at your best, you need to be at your ultimate shape - your conditioning has to be at its peak. RAINE: What are 3 fun facts that you fans don’t know about you? OGBONNAYA: 1. I Come from a big family - 2 brothers and 2 sisters - spread all over the place 2. Very competitive 3. I like fashion a lot RAINE: What was your most surprising moment on the field? OGBONNAYA: Being around great players. It humbles you when you are up against other good players and they get the best of you. It is something you understand is going to happen, but it pushes you to go further and try to get more plays than they do. RAINE: What words of wisdom do you want to share with aspiring athletes? OGBONNAYA: Don’t ever give up and always persevere. Keep in mind that it’s about “discipline,” you have to constantly perfect your craft and continually re-invent yourself. Have patience and always work hard to reach your goals.
