The Point After paints an excruciatingly vivid picture of the game of football beyond the macho stereotypes and the shallow knowledge all those Sunday afternoon armchair quarterbacks hold dear. The book describes how kickers ―despite being the leading scorers on every team in the league―are disdained by other players and coaches, and treated as if they have the cushiest ride in the sport. Even general managers, owners, and fans look down on kickers. The book goes beyond that position, though, spelling out the brutal realities that drive the ruthless business of pro football, and how teams see players as disposable corporate assets with an expiration date - kickers more so than anyone. The author explains how that philosophy affects the individual player, and everyone around him.

A native of Erie, Pennsylvania, Sean Conley fell in love with kicking at age eight. After playing college football at the University of Pittsburgh, he began a dramatic, abbreviated career in professional football, playing for the Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, and finally for the Scottish Claymores in Europe. That journey came with a price. As a result of overtraining, Sean suffered career-ending injuries. As part of his rehabilitation and regrouping, Sean became a dedicated yoga practitioner at the suggestion of his wife, Karen, a yoga instructor. He eventually embraced the mindfulness, meditation, and philosophy of yoga as a new life direction, and became a yoga teacher himself. He and his wife now own Amazing Yoga in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with four locations. Sean is the author of Amazing Yoga (Autumn House Press, 2010) and lives in Pittsburgh with Karen and their four children.
