In episode 61 of "Chats with Clark," Cam Trudell joins the show to share his aspirations of "raising role models," a phrase that guides his life as the vice president of NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics), an inductee to the Walsh University Hall of Fame for his play as a linebacker, and especially as a devoted husband and father of three.
Trudell notes that one would be remiss to mention his name without noting that he is a proud dad, noting the influence of his own parents. Cam shares stories of the way that his mom and dad were always present in the lives of his siblings and him and how he aspires to be (and is) vitally present in the lives of his children.
Professionally, Cam embodies being a role model, as he has leveled up through various roles, allowing him to emerge as the NACDA Vice President. Thankful to many of his own role models, individuals throughout his life have influenced him to keep growing and developing into the dominant force that he is within the world of sports and beyond.
Tune in to episode 61 to hear stories of family first, the role of NIL deals, where college sports are heading (and declining), and elements of great grit and ingenuity!
