YNS Live with NFL Thread Pivot Ian & Crystal Scott

Listen to a new episode of PIVOT, a show brought to you by YNS Live with NFL Thread recorded live on Fireside with hosts Juliet Hahn and Cynthia Zordich featuring special guests Ian & Crystal Scott. Ian and Crystal started dating in high school in Gainesville, Florida. After 3 years playing football at the University of Florida, Ian decided to leave school early for the 2003 NFL draft. They were married two weeks before the draft, not knowing where football would take them, but planning to give their all and enjoy wherever life decided to take them. Almost 20 years later they have traversed 7 states, in 18 homes, with 4 kids -  Skylar (17), Savannah (16), Josef (14), and Sean (12).  After 7 years in the league Ian transitioned out of football and spent 2 years finishing an engineering degree, followed by 5 years in the corporate world as an Industrial Engineer, but then transitioned again   into his 3rd career - coaching football. Ian is now in his 6th coaching season, currently with Central Michigan University, living with his family in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

At 28 they told me I was too old to play football and I had to figure out what was next. You  always think you  have an idea of when it’s coming and you hope that you have a chance to prepare, but even know that it’s not for long, you still hope that you’re ready and you know what life is like. It wasn’t until I was done that I realized how much of my identity was tied up with being a professional football player. That was gone and it was completely out of my control which is difficult for me because I am accustomed to being in control.” - Former NFL Player/Current NFL Coach Ian Scott on transition.   Sponsor   The YNS Live With NFL Thread Super Bowl Experience is sponsored by Shutterstock Editorial.  Wherever you go - Shutterstock is there to capture it!   Contact Shutterstock at assigments@shutterstock.com and take the field with Shutterstock’s award-winning photography superstars.   Find Us Online!

They dive into new chapters, inviting NFL players and spouses to join them on Fireside to share their story of transition. Football is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. From the grittiness of practice and strategy sessions to the thrill of game days and the power of cheering crowds, football is the glue that holds a professional player's life together. But what happens when you have to face life after football? What happens when the clock runs out? The adjustment to life without football can be traumatic. Some players are prepared and make a seamless transition. Others struggle to make sense of a life that no longer seems to have meaning. Some of them think themselves forever young, forever able to tackle and block and run, not only indestructible but immortal. What they all have in common is that one day they will be separated from the game, and when that happens - they may or may not be ready for it. Likely, the latter.
