Terrel Hunt / Former Syracuse Football Quarterback/ Injuries Leading to Entrepreneurship
Terrel Hunt is a former Syracuse University Quarterback and Team Captain. He ranks in the top 10 in school history for passing yards, completion percentage, completions and rushing touchdowns. His accomplishments are even more impressive when you consider the fact that he suffered 2 season ending injuries. The first, a broken leg in his junior season. The second, an Achilles injury midway through the first quarter, of the first game, his senior year.
I met up with Terrel and his Co-Founder Jeremiah Kobena (like your favorite basketball player) down at Towson University. Terrel and Jeremiah are participating in Patrick McQuown’s StarTUp accelerator program where they are working on their latest entrepreneurial endeavor, Good Choice Productions.
Most retired athletes have a hard time relating to those successful transformations to life after sports and that is where Good Choice Productions comes in to play. Good Choice Production’s goal is to share the life after sports stories of the 98% of retired athletes. Not the 2% of retired athletes like the Michael Strahan’s, Tony Hawk’s and Michael Jordan’s of the world.
