Overcoming Failure and Firing

UGA Game Day Special Release

David Pollack is a celebrated former college and NFL football player, twice named SEC Player of the Year and a multi-time All-American. Renowned for his relentless drive and leadership both on and off the field, David has become an inspiration through his faith, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. Beyond his impressive athletic accomplishments, David is a devoted husband, father, and man of God, dedicated to helping others ignite their potential through speaking, writing, and coaching. His unique “50, 40, 10” philosophy and personal story of overcoming adversity are at the heart of his message, motivating audiences to embrace standards, work ethic, and purpose in every aspect of life.

Key Takeaways

• Perseverance Through Adversity: David’s story embodies resilience—whether overcoming a career-ending injury or being fired from ESPN, he consistently demonstrates that setbacks are opportunities for growth and deeper trust in God.
• Leadership Is Influence: David believes everyone is a leader if they influence even one person, highlighting that leadership starts with caring for others and setting a standard by example.
• The Importance of Standards Over Feelings: David’s “50, 40, 10” concept emphasizes that showing up, having direction, and pushing through discomfort are what separate the truly committed from the rest in sports, business, and life.

Sound Bites

“You can outdo 50% of the people in this world by showing up more, showing up with a good attitude, showing up ready to rock and roll.”

“When we come to faith, we don’t automatically know how to share our testimony, but everyone can invite someone in, and the most important witness is how we live our lives.”

“Don’t worry about how you feel every day, because your feelings change every day...that doesn’t change who you are and what you bring to the table every single time.”
