Kelli Smith is the example of what it means to be a crossover athlete in all formats. Smith is a former track and field star, and women's American Football player who found herself on the reality show, "The Next Olympic Hopeful", where she was introduced to rugby, and a new way of life. We speak on her rise in sports, how awkward it was to enter into rugby, and the sacrifices and experiences she has had since entering into the rugby world.
