Peyton Manning and MPJ talk about the transition from superstar athlete to regular life
00:00:00.000 | - So a lot of athletes that I know of,
00:00:02.080 | you know, once they retire,
00:00:03.120 | they kind of have sometimes like a identity crisis
00:00:05.840 | or a midlife crisis.
00:00:07.180 | Did you at all deal with that?
00:00:09.080 | And kind of how did you work your way through,
00:00:11.080 | you know, that time going from, you know, stardom
00:00:14.480 | to kind of being away from the spotlight?
00:00:16.160 | Was it hard for you at all?
00:00:17.600 | - There's no doubt it's an adjustment, right?
00:00:19.200 | I was fortunate.
00:00:20.040 | I got to play football for a long time.
00:00:21.840 | Look, you're always gonna miss your teammates.
00:00:24.300 | And around playoff time, Super Bowl time,
00:00:28.040 | you always miss it a little bit then.
00:00:29.640 | I was just grateful for the time that I had.
00:00:31.560 | So I guess in the second chapter,
00:00:33.080 | I didn't really look for that.
00:00:35.200 | You know, I didn't miss, you know, being on the field
00:00:38.540 | because I was grateful for the time that I got to do it.
00:00:41.320 | Our kids had just maybe turned five years old at the time,
00:00:44.320 | so they're getting into school.
00:00:45.740 | That was a nice kind of timing
00:00:47.880 | to kind of be able to sort of dive into their lives
00:00:51.000 | and everything.
00:00:52.300 | And so it's been a pretty good transition.
