Ryan Kerrigan - Creative Pro Bowler Featured in Latest Drawn To Discover Podcast


WASHINGTON, March 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- How does an elite, professional athlete use creativity in career and life? According the 3-time, NFL Pro Bowl linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, creativity is vital to success in many different ways.

In the 1st episode for 2018, The Drawn To Discover podcast, What is Creativity?, kicks off with an amazing conversation with the All Pro linebacker, Ryan Kerrigan. Washington's #91 talks about the importance of creativity both on and off the football field. From critical 3rd downs to breaking down film to choosing the right nutrition, creativity permeates Ryan's life and decision-making. Kerrigan also discusses how creativity influenced his philanthropic work and led to the creation of his Blitz for the Better Foundation aimed at providing support, opportunities, and resources for children and families in the Greater Washington D.C. area.

Drawn To Discover is also excited to announce the beginning of a partnership with Kerrigan's foundation to help support this worthy cause. New subscribers to drawntodiscover.com can use the coupon code "BLITZ" to save 10% off their annual or monthly subscription.

Kerrigan also shared his excitement for this new partnership, "I really appreciate this. I think Drawn To Discover is the perfect match for our signature endeavor Kerrigan's Korner [a program with Blitz for the Better]."
