What does it take to last 13 years in professional football?

Consistency. Preparation. Leadership.

In this special episode promoting the Building Resilience On & Off the Field event on March 5th, we sit down with former CFL veteran Angus Reid to talk about what truly builds lasting success.

Angus spent 13 seasons anchoring the offensive line for the BC Lions - one of the most demanding and least glamorous positions in sport. No headlines. No spotlight. Just daily accountability and relentless preparation.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• Why durability is a mindset before it’s physical
• The power of showing up consistently, even when no one notices
• What leadership actually looks like inside a locker room
• Why preparation builds confidence
• The long-term impact great coaches have on young athletes
• How doing the unseen work shapes who you become

Angus shares lessons learned in the trenches about discipline, identity, and the responsibility athletes carry to leave environments better than they found them.

On March 5th, Angus will be sharing this message live at:
