The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast · 540. Former NFL Player on Masculinity | Tim Tebow · 21 Apr 2025 podcast

Three. Baseball, basketball, football.

When I was young, probably. And then as I grew, probably got slightly better in football and baseball than in basketball.

I think still at a pretty young age, but that's not because you're a good leader. It's just because as a better player or a competent player, people would look to you. And so I think at an early age, but I still don't believe that I led in a really good way many times.

They played such a pivotal role in it, conversations with my mom and my dad about it, trying to learn, learn from failure, talking through it afterwards with my dad, talking through it with my mom, trying to be patient, trying to be understanding.

Yes, and I would say one of the most special things is the whole time they're always reminding me, but it's not the end of the world. It's not everything. And there was always that balance that to me sometimes where I would fail or I still fail is when it becomes everything. then it's not in its proper place.

Yeah. Right. And so how to deal with it.

Yeah.

And so that's a great victory. And it's one of your greatest motivators. Those scars from losses are also... some of the things that motivate you the most. When I look back on my career, especially in college, like it's hard for me. So for example, we had 12 rivalry games in my four years at Florida. We went 11 and one. I think about that one.

uh so three biggest rivalries for us is florida versus georgia florida versus tennessee and florida versus another team in the state florida state i hate even saying their name right so these are high stakes games on a reputational level and your fans have a lot at stake yes um and we went 11-1 in those games and i think about the one more than i think about the 11 combined

And because it makes a mark and it gave such a weight to me, I was so hurt and sad, not just for me, but for my family and for my team and for my teammates, for my teammates family, because it mattered that much. And I think that scar can either cripple you or propel you.

It can cripple you by just sitting and saying, what a terrible loss, or it can propel you and say, I never wanna go through this again. What I'm representing, who I get to represent, my teammates, my care for them, my coaches, my family, all of that. I never wanna go through this again. So now I'm gonna double down on my work.

I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it and I'm gonna do it again, because I don't wanna go through this again. I don't want my teammates to go through this again. I don't want my family to look at me like that again with the sadness on their eyes because they know that I'm hurting. Like all of that can propel you if you let it, if you use it as fuel.

And one of the things I like to encourage young people is you either win or you learn.

It wasn't a rivalry game.

No, but it was a... But it was a shocking loss. That was my junior year at the University of Florida, and we lost to Ole Miss, a team that has so much respect for them, but we just shouldn't have lost to them.

After the game, I felt such shame and disappointment. Not because we lost the game, Dr. Peterson, but because I knew it was my fault. It was my fault as a leader. It was my fault as a captain. It was my fault in the way I played, in the focus. What do you think you did wrong? Or what did you think you did wrong?

I think that, you know, we throw around phrases like you're all in or being locked in or focused or all these things. And I think that there was a tiny bit, just a tiny bit that I thought today we could just go through the motions a little bit.

Rather than being all in. And the whole time we thought, well, we'll still win. We'll still win. We were behind and we come from behind and we're down a touchdown. But it's like, it's okay. We're still good. And we drive down the field, we score a touchdown and then supposed to kick the extra point and tie the game. They blocked the extra point.

But then our defense goes out there and does an unbelievable job, gets a three and out. We get the ball back and we have a chance to score and win the game. And it's a fourth and one. And we call 96 Q Mickey, which is a Q power play. It's a, I carry the ball, it's downhill running. And very few times, it would be like our identity play. Very few times. that I can remember.

I'm sure there's some times we got stopped on it, but very few in four years, very few. If there was, I mean, if there was one play you said, we are getting this. It's I'm running behind some of our best offensive linemen, the pouncies and some amazing guys, and I'm running right behind them. And we're like, we get this. This is what we do. Like, this is what we train for. And I get stopped.
