Light At The End of The Tunnel
Rick started his career in the media with almost the same pay as he was getting as a football coach. It was the upward mobility that he sought after regardless of the hardships he had to go through being in the industry. From here, focus and determination would play a huge part in his climb up the ladder.
The managerial position that Rick eventually stepped on turned out to possess the same principles as coaching. Cooperation, teamwork, camaraderie, competitiveness and valuation of trust all hold true to his career in the media; the same values he cherished in the sporting arena.
"The good news is that at least television afforded me an opportunity where everyday seemed like game day instead of just 11 to 12 Saturdays a year," Rick claimed. "And it was really challenging, and really the same drive was a lot more rewarding."
"When you love a game like that it's such a part of your life and you have the benefit of being exposed to it in a really nice way. Yes you miss that but I tell you I had no regrets about getting into television. Television's been an extraordinary career for me. It's allowed me to grow and learn and meet all kinds of wonderful people and work with people. I've been in a lot of interesting settings, very challenging and so many different ways that brought out the best in me."
