In this episode of the Sports Business Leaders podcast, Justin sits down with Patrick A. Afriyie, a former NFL defensive lineman turned litigation attorney at Archer. Patrick shares how his journey—from an unrecruited high school athlete to a captain at Colgate University and NFL player with the Los Angeles Chargers—shaped his mindset and prepared him for a successful legal career.
They discuss the transferable skills from football to law, including communication, discipline, quick analysis, and pressure management. Patrick breaks down his transition to the legal world, his work in corporate and commercial litigation at Archer, and how his competitive drive now helps clients navigate complex business disputes.
Patrick also reflects on the power of self-belief, the value of mental resilience, and why athletes are uniquely prepared for careers beyond sports. He closes by encouraging listeners to stay connected with Archer’s work supporting businesses across the sports industry.
This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of sports, law, and leadership.
