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.
