Dr. Rodney Dorsey on being an imaginative musician and the importance of failure

Today I interviewed a WR on the Shepherd University Football Team! Rodney is a killer athlete and he also gave great insight into what it's like to be a football player at Shepherd. In the interview, we discussed his study habits and routines as well as the schedule he had focusing on pre-season classes and workouts. We tapped into his experience of transferring from Towson University to Shepherd University and how he adapted to a new environment and new teammates. Rodney clarified what he studied and what courses entailed. He has a very interesting major that will give him room for opportunities in several directions. Shepherd had a talented team in 2019, playing in a very competitive PSAC conference. Tune in to this sports podcast to hear a little about their 2019 season!http://studentathletecombo.com/
