James Pratt Former College Football Player

Welcome back to the RU Strong Podcast wheregrit, leadership, and passion meet purpose. I’m your host, Jeff Durr, and today’s episode is a special one for all athletes, coaches, and aspiring entrepreneurs out there.

Joining me is a former college football player who took the lessons from the locker room and transformed them into apowerhouse of purpose through his company, Pratt for Athletic Training. He’s not just training athletes, he’s moldingleaders.

From day one, his coaches made a lasting impact on him, they cared, they challenged him, and they helped shape the man he became. He’s carried that same standard forward: don’t expect less, lead by example, and model the behavior youwant to see in others.

As a trainer and business owner, he’s upfront,honest, and relentlessly driven. He’s obsessed with his craft and laser-focused on one thing, getting the absolute best out of everything and everyone. No shortcuts. No exceptions.

He believes in empathy, in asking for help, inlearning from mistakes, and most of all, in going all in. Whether on the field or in the gym, he brings the same fire he had as a player: a love for football, a passion for training, and a mindset to scale, grow, and make things enjoyable every step of the way.

If you’re looking to be a better leader, buildsomething meaningful, or simply become the best version of yourself, this conversation is for you.

Let’s dive in. This is RU Strong.
