We had the good fortune of connecting with Christian Edgerson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christian, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important thing about my Success is my overall Mindset to persevere, my self doubts, negativity, and overall overthinking everything. Realizing my worth was hard to do because I was so far from myself. Now that I know what I truly want in my life. I’ve tap into my God Given Gift

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I will like to start off and say that I wasn’t born into a silver spoon family. The people around me had worked hard for everything they have been given. I am a huge believer in Dedication, and consistency. That sets me apart because I am consistent in the things I put in my body, how I train, & how I recover my body. I am excited to get an opportunity to play Professional Football at the highest level. Getting my name out there is huge for me! How I got here is Faith, discipline, and overcoming self-doubts & fears. Getting an opportunity like this wasn’t easy. Long days. Working multiple jobs while working out and simple working seemingly for nothing it felt like sometimes. I’ve learned to acknowledge I have came a far way but always push for me. I want people to know that I am a Man that made mistakes, had faults, wasn’t the best person. And I overcame and realized my Worth as a Young Man.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well to start off in Sunny South Florida, We go to the Beach first. Get sand between the toes and look at the beautiful ocean & people who come all around the World To see Miami! My favorite restaurant is in Fort Lauderdale called Louie Bossi’s. Amazing Italian! One fun thing to do is commute to The Keys like key west or largo!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family. I am super grateful with the family I was born into. Of course family isn’t always perfect but God has given me people that others may never imagine having and thats a blessing I will never take for granted!
