Dr. Phil speaks with NFL legend Brian Urlacher to explore the psychology behind his rise, the family that shaped him, the pain of retirement, and the legacy he’s building today.

Brian Urlacher is one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history, a fierce competitor, a Chicago icon, and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But behind the fame and ferocity is a deeper psychological story.

Dr. Phil talks with the man behind the pads to uncover how a childhood marked by instability, a hardworking mother, and a dedicated stepfather shaped the drive that made him great. Urlacher opens up about being overlooked as a young athlete, transforming rejection into fuel, and the leadership mindset that made him the heart of the Chicago Bears.
