NFL Player Sam Acho Talks About his NEW Book

Nothing’s more exciting than being in the stadium at an NFL game. But what’s it like to be playing on the field? With all those eyes watching you and all those players ready to knock you down. 

Today, at the start of Season 3 of The Lone Star Plate Podcast, we find out as I talk to American footballer Sam Acho. 

Sam tells me what it was like to play in the NFL, the diet he follows as an athlete, and why he chose to be on The Players Association Board. 

He also explains why he wrote his new book ‘Let The World See You’, and how he found writing worked as a form of therapy for him…

“Writing for me was therapy. So what you see on those pages is an overflow of my heart.” - Sam Acho
