John Urschel on why every child should play team sports

Season 2019 Episode 150 | 2m 57s

John Urschel is a mathematician who spends plenty of time alone in a room with his work. But before that, he played pro football for the Baltimore Ravens. One might think the two careers have nothing to do with each other, but Urschel has a different perspective. He shares his humble opinion on how playing sports taught him valuable lessons he applied both on the field and in the classroom.
