20: Sean Conley- How a former NFL player found great opportunity in unfortunate circumstances.
Against seemingly impossible odds, Sean Conley went from being a no-name kicker at a Division III school, to starting for the University of Pittsburgh, and ultimately having a shot at his dream of playing in the NFL, not once but three times.
After graduation, Sean began a dramatic, abbreviated career in professional football, playing for the Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, and finally for the Scottish Claymores in NFL Europe . That journey came with a price. As a result of overtraining, Sean suffered career-ending injuries, and found himself without direction and a job .
However, his story didn’t end there, as part of his rehabilitation and regrouping, Sean became a dedicated yoga practitioner at the suggestion of his wife. He eventually embraced the mindfulness, meditation, and philosophy of yoga as a new life direction, and became a yoga teacher himself. He and his wife now own Amazing Yoga in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Sean is the author of two books.
- Amazing Yoga: A Practical Guide to Strength, Wellness, and Spirit (That he wrote with his wife)
When Conley thought life was over, it was just beginning. Transcending football, this is the story of a former football player who discovered the true meaning of sports and life, and found happiness in the most unexpected way.
Embodying the spirit of the underdog, this is a moving tale of strength, determination, and spiritual grit.
In this episode Sean shares his story of:
- Burning out because you work to hard and the importance of rest
