The Tampa Bay Buccaneers National Coaching Academy was established to create new pathways for coaches trying to break into the NFL. Fort Lee High School head football coach Michael Gerst was 1 of 25 to earn a coveted spot in this year's class at the Academy, and then selected as 1 of 5 to return for NFL Training Camp.

In this conversation with ReliaQuest mental performance coaches Derin McMains and Dr. Nicole Detling, Coach Gerst shares his journey from hustling multiple jobs to keep his coaching dream alive to specific lessons he's learned that will impact the way he leads and coaches going forward. He embodies the principles that captivate leaders in any industry - intentionality, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of chasing better.
