A heartfelt account of the difficulties football players face after
they leave the NFL. The NFL is the nation's most popular sport, but
the athletes who make the league rich suffer greatly once they step
off the field. In When the Cheering Stops: Life after the NFL,
players open up about the adversities they face after retirement.
Long after the lights have dimmed on their playing days, NFL
players face emotional distress, physical injuries, and cognitive
decline, often suffering on their own. Personal interviews with
former players reveal that many struggle with finances, finding a
second career, addiction, depression, and violence. While success
stories are also shared, the unfortunate truth is that there are
far more players left hurt and broken after retirement. Written by
former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president and founder of the Retired
Players Assistance program Gay Culverhouse, this book provides a
unique inside perspective on the NFL and the long-term physical and
emotional toll playing in the league takes on the players who make
it great.
