  • Summary

  • "A lot of those kids watching me growing up...they saw so much hope when they saw me. So I was like, let me go feed my soul and complete the mission God put me here to do." Teddy Bridgewater coaching & winning High School State Championship On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, fresh off a huge milestone, Teddy Bridgewater sits with Ryan, Fred, and Channing to talk about his full circle journey—how a kid from Miami went to Louisville, paved the way for black quarterbacks becoming an NFL All Pro then after a decade in the league, returned to his old high school this season to coach the football team to a state championship. After 10 years in the NFL and enduring devastating injuries to come back and play in the league again, Teddy realized he had something bigger left to give the game he loves so much…which led him back to his hometown. Teddy’s not just shaping athletes; he’s inspiring an entire community, one game at a time. For Teddy, coaching isn’t just about X’s and O’s. It’s about giving back to the kids who grew up just like he did. He talks to the guys about what it means to help these boys grow into men on and off the field, build a culture of tough love but more importantly create an unbreakable bond of unity and belief in the community. The monumental moment of winning is a priceless feeling for Teddy, but now see says he’s ready to return to the NFL and show those same young men he coached, how passion and hard work can lead you to your biggest dreams. As the conversation continues, the guys get into the personal side of Teddy’s story—the moments that shaped him, the values that keep him grounded and how witnessing first-hand his mom’s strength during her toughest battle against breast cancer, is when he truly learned the power of prayer and resilience. Although Teddy keeps his life private, he isn’t shy about the lessons he’s learned from all the great coaches who influenced his life and inspired his journey. Teddy takes the time to open up about his bond with MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, another Louisville legend who credits Teddy as one of his biggest inspirations. For him, watching Lamar take the league by storm is more meaningful than he can put into words and he's proud to have been a role model for this next generation of quarterbacks. Whether you’ve been a fan of Teddy since his Louisville days, followed his NFL journey, or just enjoy a good story about resilience, heart, and community, this discussion is filled with gems and unforgettable stories.
