Jerry Sherk talks Life After Football, The Hero's Journey and More

On this episode of the Beyond the Helmet we are joined by former NFL Defensive Player of the Year and Cleveland Browns legend, Jerry Sherk.

Jerry played 12 years in the NFL (1970-1981) all with the Cleveland Browns. This former defensive lineman was an All-American wrestler who grew into a 4 time Pro Bowl player and eventual Defensive Player of the Year. A devastating staph infection in 1979 would be beginning of the end of a storied football career - but more importantly - it would allow something else to begin. 

Sherk pursued photography professionally for 10 years after his football career ended. After that he turned the page to mentorship where today he still works to make a difference with Mentor Management Systems. He has put the master degree he earned in psychology to good use with helping athletes transition into other careers among many other areas of professional concentration in the mentorship realm.
