Matt Stover is a man of faith, dedication and team. A two-time Super Bowl Champion and a Ring of Honor Baltimore Raven, Matt’s success was as much talent as it was maintaining the proper approach, discipline and mindset to become a long time veteran professional athlete. The key to Matt, as you will learn in this episode, is his ability to be conscience of perspective and to focus on what is important as well as on how to understand the role he had both playing and now being a father and community philanthropist. Matt could have kicked 1 field goal or the 471 he actually did make; either way, Matt’s journey is the ultimate depiction of how sports and the life lessons learned both playing and reflecting back on them can and will affect you.

As of the start of the 2009 NFL season, Matt Stover was the third most accurate kicker in the history of the National Football League. He has played for the New York Giants, the Cleveland Browns, and the Baltimore Ravens, with whom he played for 13 seasons. He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts in 2009 to replace injured kicker Adam Vinatieri. Stover announced his retirement from football on May 25, 2011 with the Baltimore Ravens. At the time of his retirement, he was the last remaining member of the original Cleveland Browns still active in the NFL, and was also the last Raven to have played for the franchise before the team moved from Cleveland. He retired as the NFL's fourth all-time leading scorer.
