Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became

Notre Dame (and college football) fans listen up: I’m excited to announce that ND alum and "Biggest Fan of the Big East" winner (and local St. Louis author!) Lisa Kelly’s book – Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became– was officially released on August 1, 2013.

In Echoes From The End Zone: The Men We Became, Lisa tells the story of 25 former Notre Dame football players:

•  the lessons they learned in college, and how those lessons changed their lives: The Notre Dame Value Stream

•  their years at Notre Dame

•  the end of their football careers

•  the new careers and dreams they followed

What happens to these exceptional Notre Dame student-athletes after they graduate? Some go on to play professional football, for a time. Some have injuries, and never have the opportunity to play sports professionally. Others experiment with different career choices, searching for the right fit. Many pursue career goals carried since childhood, while others build families, return to their hometowns, and travel the world. But all of these former student-athletes must create a new life after their playing days end: a life where they are no longer in the spotlight, no longer admired for their physical attributes, and no longer glorified in the media.

Their stories and career choices may surprise you, but by each of these former Notre Dame student-athletes you will be impressed and inspired by the choices they made so early in life that enabled them to succeed beyond The End Zone.

To learn more about the book, visit Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became or purchase your copy on Amazon, at the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore or on the Echoes From the End Zone: The Men We Became website.
