Dave Phillipson, a 1979 Dowagiac Union High School graduate, doesn’t care about who wins the Super Bowl and for good reason.

Phillipson, who has worked with some of the world’s top athletes on Mental Peak Performance, isn’t picking a winner this year.

“Three of the nicest guys in sports are playing in the game, including the two quarterbacks. Peyton (Manning) may be the greatest quarterback to ever play the game, though how can you root against John Carney? He’s the oldest guy in the NFL, he’s also the nicest guy I’ve ever met in sports,” Phillipson said.

Don’t get me wrong, Drew and Peyton are great guys too. It’s just that John and his wife Holly are special folks. John’s also a Notre Dame guy, so he’s got that going for him,” he added.

Phillipson, who was formerly the Vice President at Bio Dynamics, lives in Costa Mesa, Calif., and is now a club president for CEO Space, the world’s oldest and largest network for CEOs, Entrepreneurs and Visionary investors.

At Bio Dynamics, he worked athletes. He now helps small and large companies excel with explosive growth.

“John may not even get on the field, which would be tough, especially if the Saints win,” Phillipson said. I’d give the edge to Indy, though I’m not picking anyone to win. I’ll just enjoy some guacamole and chips, snicker at the commercials and hope for a good game. It can’t end in a tie, but that would be a great solution.”
