Although football is considered a seasonal sport, there are a number of efforts occurring behind the scenes to help not only prepare for the fall but to support those charged with protecting the integrity of the game. Host Dr. Shanda Gore welcomes National Football League (NFL) Crew Chief Official Mr. Shawn Smith to talk about his early childhood beginnings to officiating over some of the biggest watched games on television. Mr. Smith provides advisement in leadership positions and encourages those interested in the game to consider officiating.
