Welcome back to another inspiring episode of the Chabán Podcast! I’m your host, Alejandro Chabán, and today I have the honor of sitting down with someone who truly embodies discipline, resilience, and mental strength. He’s not only an accomplished athlete, but also a coach, entrepreneur, and motivator who has helped countless people transform their lives. Please welcome my guest, Marc Megna.

Marc’s story is one of perseverance and determination. Growing up in Fall River, Massachusetts, he faced obstacles that could have stopped him, but he never gave up. His passion for sports led him to football, where he developed a relentless work ethic that would later define his entire career. He attended the University of Richmond, playing as a standout linebacker, and his talent eventually earned him a spot in the NFL. Marc played for the New York Jets and New England Patriots, and later extended his professional career in NFL Europe and the Canadian Football League.

But what makes Marc’s journey remarkable is not just his time on the field, but the mindset he cultivated along the way. He often says that talent might get you noticed, but it’s discipline, grit, and mental toughness that carry you forward. After retiring from professional football, Marc transitioned into the world of fitness and coaching, co-founding Anatomy, a premier training and wellness center in Miami. There, he built a community that goes beyond physical workouts — it’s about developing mental strength, building resilience, and creating a lifestyle of growth.

In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about how Marc trains not only the body but also the mind. Because achieving big goals — whether it’s in sports, business, or personal life — always starts with the mind. Marc believes in the power of visualization, setting clear intentions, and pushing beyond comfort zones. He teaches his clients that success is not just about lifting weights or running faster; it’s about showing up every day with consistency and commitment.

Marc’s own transformation is proof of this philosophy. From a small-town kid with big dreams, to a professional athlete, to a leader in the fitness and wellness industry — his path shows us that nothing is impossible when you learn to master your mind. He continues to inspire thousands through public speaking, coaching, and his presence on social media, where he shares lessons about discipline, perseverance, and gratitude.

So today, we’re diving deep into the strategies Marc uses to train the mind. We’ll talk about overcoming self-doubt, building routines that lead to progress, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. We’ll also explore how setbacks — whether in sports, health, or life — can become opportunities for growth if you approach them with the right mindset.

I can’t wait for you to hear this conversation, because it’s packed with wisdom and practical advice you can apply to your own journey. So without further ado, let’s welcome Marc Megna to the Chabán Podcast.
