Roy Hall Jr. joins Buckeye Cadence to discuss his new book, Fight Through It, and details his role serving the Ohio State football team.
Roy Hall Jr. played wide receiver at The Ohio State University and in the NFL, and won a National Championship in 2002. However, life after football is where his purpose began to shine.
Now a speaker, leader, and author, Roy sits down with Blake Biscardi on Buckeye Cadence to talk about his new book — Fight Through It: The Battles, Breakthroughs, and Beauty of Becoming Resilient Enough to Never Give Up — and why resilience isn’t what most people think it is. The message is for everyone: Fight Through It.
Hall Jr. also shares insights from his role serving the Ohio State football team and what it’s been like mentoring student-athletes and coaches over the last 13 years, and what being a Buckeye means to him.
In this conversation, Roy Hall Jr. teaches you how. Ohio State Football Head Coach Ryan Day wrote the foreword. National Champion and Ohio Lieutenant Governor Jim Tressel endorsed it. This is the book that the people who build winners are handing to the people they believe in.
Hall Jr. doesn’t view his role with Ohio State football as work, but rather as service, as he impacts the community through his voice and Driven Foundation. This episode is a blueprint for life.
In this episode, Roy Hall Jr. breaks down:
- His Ohio State career, NFL journey, and life after football
- The Driven Foundation and why giving back drives everything
- What Fight Through It means
- The habits that build lasting resilience
- What Ryan Day models about leading through adversity
- How Jim Tressel shaped him as a man, not just a player
- What leaders carrying silent battles need to hear right now
