Maxx Crosby: On Sobriety, NFL Recovery Routine, and Lessons from Dana White | TUH #055

About this video

NFL player Maxx Crosby tells Brecka how, after getting sober and a disappointing second season, he rebuilt everything — bringing his own meals on planes, and systematising food, sleep, cold, sauna and recovery, as he describes it — with support from his wife, who he credits with introducing meal prep. He also discusses fatherhood, mentors such as Dana White, his podcast and business ventures, and defines progress as constant, humble refinement.

Key takeaways

• Crosby states sobriety was the turning point that forced a full re-evaluation, in his account
• Crosby argues elite recovery and nutrition are largely left to the athlete to organise
• He credits his wife as his foundational support through addiction and career, in his telling
• Crosby frames improvement as refining existing habits rather than endlessly adding new ones
