Miami Dolphins Director of Player Engagement, Alexander Martin

The Burn Podcast by Ben Newman

This week on The Burn Podcast, I’m thrilled to sit down with, Alexander Martin, in a great conversation that dives into transitions, relationships, and player engagement. Alexander shares his journey of unexpected opportunities that led him to impact student athlete development at the University of Miami and his role in player engagement. We discuss our mutual relationship with Kaleb Thornhill and the importance of intentional connections in our careers, especially within football.
Alexander emphasizes the crucial role of preparing players for life beyond the field, and his insights into handling transitions and building strong bonds with players offer invaluable lessons. We explore how his dedication to showing up for others without expecting anything in return has left a lasting influence, and how this principle is essential in finding fulfillment and purpose in life.
We also touch on the cultural shift in the Miami Dolphins, driven by Coach McDaniel and the unique mix of rookie energy and veteran wisdom, highlighting the contributions of players like Alec Ingold to the team’s positive environment.
I’m incredibly grateful for Alexander’s openness and the wisdom he brings, and I'm confident you’ll find inspiration in his approach to life and career. Don’t miss this episode if you're looking to understand the power of serving others and the significance of relationships in achieving success.
