Jimmy talks with Super Bowl Champ & Pro Bowl Selection Ryan Clark. Ryan was the Keynote speakers at this year’s Inova DC Sports Medicine Summit in Washington DC. He brought an amazing story to the room of healthcare professionals that reminded them to look beyond the diagnosis (or lack of one in his case).

His amazing story, which brought him near death, teaches everyone in the healthcare system to make sure to remember that you’re treating a human being with every interaction.

He also gives us the scoop on which of his 643 career tackles was his favorite and he answers, “Which is the better feeling? A sack, an interception or a forced fumble?”

He also highlights his charity organization http://www.cureleague.org/
