The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Michael Strahan is The Navigator because reinvention, for him, is a matter of orientation rather than escape. He treats each new arena, GMA, Fox, game shows, production, like a sideline timeout before re-entering play, compartmentalized and deliberate. Every setback, from being doubted out of TSU to absorbing double-teams, becomes directional data rather than deterrence.
“What motivates me is to be able to do things that kind of show people that as an athlete, as a black man, I can do other things outside of hit somebody who's carrying a football.”
“If someone sees it as a successful failure, I'm still learning something, which is all I care about. I take something out of every experience.”
“Everything backs up to sports. I think about one thing, and when I'm there, I'm present — because you never know who's watching, and it may be the only one thing that somebody else does.”
