About this listen

Beyond The Game More Stories is not a sports podcast. It’s about preparing for life and the role sports plays for many of us. Athlete out not, everyone has worn a jersey - a job title, a relationship, etc. This shows highlights those universal moments. The stories are real. No scripted inspirations, just honest conversation from real people about failure, growth and purpose. People trust what feels real and this shows earns that trust. Turning sports into life lessons it reminds us, you’re not broken for struggling, you’re not far behind for starting over and you’re not alone in the process.Duane Lightfoot Jr

    May 11 2026

    What does it really take to push your body to the limit… and still come back stronger?

    In this episode of Beyond The Game More Stories, we sit down with Jordan Ball — a marathon runner and physical therapist who lives at the intersection of endurance, discipline, and recovery. From logging miles on the pavement to helping others rebuild their bodies, Jordan shares what the sport has taught him about patience, resilience, and understanding your body beyond performance.

    This conversation goes deeper than finish lines and personal records. It’s about the mental battles, the unseen work behind the scenes, and the life lessons that come from showing up — even when it’s hard.

    Because at the end of the day…
    the race doesn’t just test your body — it reveals your mindset.

    Beyond The Game More Stories is where we go beyond highlights to uncover the lessons sports teach us about life.
