The Playbook With David Meltzer · 2026-06-28 · 13 min
In today’s episode, I sit down with Super Bowl 50 champion, Pro Bowl running back, entrepreneur, and high school football coach CJ Anderson. After a successful NFL career, CJ chose a path centered on service, mentoring young athletes, and helping shape the next generation through coaching and education. We talk about the impact great coaches have on a young person’s life, why athletes should prepare for life beyond sports, and how to find purpose after the spotlight fades. CJ also shares his perspective on leadership, parenting, adapting to technology, and using role models and social media as tools for growth, discipline, and long-term success.
