Sean Shelton - For the Love of the Game

The Winning Mentality

Sean Shelton is that rarest of things - a professional American Football player who plies his trade in Europe. The story of how he got from Tampa Bay, Florida to the Swarco Raiders in Innsbruck, Austria via Kansas, Paris and Helsinki, is fascinating, and his in depth analysis of his position on the field - quarterback - is staggering. If you don’t know much about American Football, prepare to be amazed by what you are about to hear. I say during this interview, and I’m happy to argue the point with anyone, that quarterback is the single most difficult position that anyone plays in a team sport. When you’ve heard Sean explain what his job involves, you’ll understand why.
