He can’t talk about the show itself just yet, but he talked about why he wanted to get on the show, how he got on the show and how he almost didn’t go because he wanted to put his team first. 

If you have a son or daughter who plays sports…I don’t care how old they are or even if you know someone who coaches, have them listen to Coach Wade.  He’s inspirational and will teach you and your child the essence of sports and how it teaches us all life lessons. 

I couldn’t wait to get home to have my children listen him.  When I set up these interviews, I never know what to expect.  I just figured we’d have a fun conversation about what he had to do to get on the show, and what type of person is that insane to live in a desert, jungle, or other obscure place on the earth for 39 days with 15 other strangers, however, our conversation turned into much more.

Enjoy the conversation and catch Coach (as everyone calls him) on the Survivor premiere on February 12th at 8pm on CBS.
