Balancing the demands of big-time college football… and big-time study. Joe takes us inside University Life, Scholarships, GPA's and living arrangements for College footballers.

It's not just about training, lectures and learning – it’s about player welfare too. Joe gives us a raw insight into the seriousness of concussion protocols, the importance of custom-fitted helmets, and how the program at Ohio State is leaving nothing to chance when it comes to the treatment of it's players.

Plus, a kicking session with NFL punter Cam Johnston. It’s a moment. A test. And a glimpse of what might be to come.

Training intensifies. Competition ramps up. And Joe is bagging a few wins at training competitions as he starts to carve out his place in one of the biggest sporting programs on the planet.

It’s education, it’s elite sport, and it’s all getting very, very real.
