## Resource

Avi Proctor sits down with Tamir Goodman, famously dubbed "The Jewish Jordan" by Sports Illustrated in 1999, to uncover the raw reality behind his meteoric rise. From severe dyslexia unlocking his elite passing vision to the brutal reality of walking away from top-tier D1 programs to protect Shabbat, Tamir shares a raw, unfiltered look at his journey. This is a profound masterclass on identity, ferocious resilience, and what happens when you choose principles over fame. For more inspiring Moral Edge podcasts, click here to subscribe on YouTube .
