In this episode of Simple. Wins., Sam Nott sits down with Everett Rogers, a powerhouse Defensive Tackle at the University of Houston.

This isn’t your typical sports interview; it’s a raw, unfiltered deep dive into the Division 1 Reality that the cameras don't show.

Everett pulls back the curtain on the mental and physical toll of elite college athletics. He shares the staggering story of playing 8 games on a torn meniscus because he was ignored by trainers, a "toxic" coaching culture, his personal battle with depression, the transfer portal, and the academic turnaround that saw him go from a 1.7 GPA to a DI football player.

Whether you are an aspiring athlete, a student-athlete in the thick of the grind, or anyone looking to build a high-performance mindset, Everett’s journey offers a masterclass in resilience, personal development, and the power of "No Opportunity Wasted."
