It’s Rivalry week in the state of Michigan and we’ve got a special episode for you! 🏈

In this episode, host Phil Osaer (Director of Athlete Development at Suburban Sports Group & former NHL scout) sits down with two Big Ten football greats: Mike Martin, University of Michigan captain and NFL veteran, and T.J. Duckett, Michigan State star and first-round NFL draft pick.
 
Together they dive into:
• The Michigan vs. Michigan State rivalry and their most memorable moments
• The Battle for the Houses and how the rivalry is fueling support for Ronald McDonald House Charities
• Their personal connections to giving back and the role of community in athlete development
• Lessons from football that shaped their lives after the game
• How they view athlete development today and what young athletes can do to prepare for life beyond sports
 
Whether you bleed maize and blue, green and white, or simply love seeing athletes use their platform for impact, this episode captures the intensity of the rivalry and the power of purpose beyond the game.
