Some athletes don’t necessarily miss the game 🏈
They miss having something to chase.
For the newest episode of Chasing, I sat down with Phil to talk about what happened after college football and how he found another place for that competitive side of himself in powerlifting.
At USA Powerlifting® (USAPL) Raw Nationals in Chicago last month, Phil’s coach pulled out his headphones and told him, “If you want to be anywhere in the conversation, you have to hit this lift.”
Phil walked up thinking the bar was loaded with a weight he had hit before.
It was 711 pounds.
He made it, walked off like it was normal, and then remembered he still had six more lifts ahead of him. What??? 🥴
Phil is a charismatic, gracious, and positive light and in this chat we get into the years behind his journey with football, injuries, missed lifts, weight cuts, body image, discipline, building a personal brand, and learning how to keep getting better without letting one number become your whole identity.
We also talk about what he is chasing next, why he wants the podium, and why being great means more to him than being strong.
Chasing Strength with Phil Posley is now live on YouTube and Spotify.
