Welcome to The Introspektiv Podcast. A series of insightful conversations where aspiring individuals reflect, engage, and share their journey. In this episode, we sit with Tyron Carrier, former UH Assistant Head Coach and position Coach at the University of Houston, West Virginia & Baylor. Tyron is currently tied for the most kickoff return Touchdowns in NCAA with Clemson's C. J. Spiller, San Diego State's Rashaad Penny, and Memphis's Tony Pollard. His 7,490 career all-purpose yards, as a wide receiver at the University of Houston, ranks sixth all-time. Here we discuss the struggles of breaking through as a star college athlete, gruesome career ending injuries, depression & mental health, being a father, the recruiting process of talented athletes, and how the NCAA Image/Likeness rule could potentially impact current & future collegiate athletes. A must listen for any sports fan, current, future or past athlete, or parent.
