A.J. Brown talks chasing your purpose during Q&A session at Miami University Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown urges students to chase their purpose during visit and speaking engagement at Miami University
A.J. Brown is an All-Pro wide receiver, a fantastic father, an advocate for mental health, and now a motivational speaker. The man responsible for making 'Inner Excellence' a best seller for author Jim Murphy is finding his purpose in life and sharing with others.
Winning a Super Bowl raises an athlete's profile, and just 12 days before the start of off-season workouts in Philadelphia, Brown was in the Midwest for a speaking engagement with college students. The Eagles' star pass catcher urged students to chase their purpose during a visit and speaking engagement at Miami University.
About 750+ people packed the Donald W. Fritz Pavilion in the Armstrong Student Center to hear Brown talk about mental health, his faith, and how he structures his life to be a top performer on and off the field.
Brown's visit was part of Stress Less Week, which was co-sponsored by Miami's suicide prevention team, the Student Counseling Service (SCS), and the Office of Student Wellness..
Brown said he used to think his purpose was to play football, but now he wants to use his success to inspire others. 'Chase your purpose,' he said.
