Imagine being the only student in Creighton history to earn first team, all conference, all four years in a row, and all American academic, all American athlete as a pitcher. That's the reality for our guest Tara Higgins, who together with her husband Mike, joins us on this intriguing episode, taking us through their roller coaster journeys through the world of sports. Tara shares her inspiring journey from playing select softball at 8, to becoming a formidable player in her college years, while Mike, a former football player at UNO, New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings, reflects on his path to success.
Transitioning from their early successes, our conversation moves into the impact of faith, identity and dreams in Tara's life. She opens up about her Christian upbringing, the realization of God's love for her, and the thrill of playing against the USA Olympic team. Mike, on the other hand, recounts being scouted and the consequential decisions he had to make. Further, we shine a light on Tara's life as an NFL player's wife, exploring the highs of moving to New Orleans, the lows of losing her sense of purpose, and her triumphant return to her love for softball.
Rounding off the episode, we unpack Mike's emotional journey to an NFL career and his decision to prioritize family above all. Now parents to four children, Mike and Tara share their approach to managing their kids' involvement in youth sports. Offering invaluable advice, they discuss the pros and cons of early specialization in sports, emphasizing the importance of personal development, setting individual goals, and avoiding comparison. Tune in to absorb the wisdom from Tara and Mike's personal experiences, as they inspire us to strike the right balance between ambition, passion, and personal growth.
