Host Coleen Witt welcomes former Georgia Tech quarterback Reggie Ball, who signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2007 and is now COO of Effect Fitness in Atlanta and a co-host on The Broken Play.

Reggie cooks his family’s ramen-and-ground-beef “lo mein” using soy sauce, garlic salt, pepper, parsley, and broccoli while discussing how the meal came from busy, broke post-practice nights. He explains the undrafted free agent process, recalls Detroit’s loyal fan base during the Lions’ 0–16 season, and describes the difficult mental transition out of the NFL, including injuries and learning to save money.

After working at Chrysler and later fixing U-Haul trucks, he recommits to fitness, helps build Effect Fitness from a garage, emphasizes hard work, self-prioritization, and consistency, and details podcasting and Effect Fitness tours and app growth during the pandemic.
