Summary
This week we continue our special series on the Art of Difficult Dialogue with former NFL elite athlete, Tim Hightower.
Tim has one of the greatest sports comeback stories ever. After suffering an injury, he spent four seasons out of the game and in recovery. Miraculously, he made his way back to the NFL and will share his story with us today.
In addition, Tim talks with Jessica not just to talk about his tenacity, but about his thoughts on how race is affecting sports, and how we can all learn to not shy away from the difficult truths and honest conversations.
