(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[Cincyfan96]

When asked about how he got into football, Schell often recounts memories of playing pickup games of football with his older brother Ricky. Ricky dreamed of being a professional football player, but he never got the growth spurt that Schell went through after middle school. Too small to be a player, Ricky devoted his energies to training and teaching his brother the ways of the game, and eventually Schell caught the football fever. Once he got started, the ISFL was the only goal in his mind. But what if that hadn't come to be? Before getting into football, Schell's primary passion was ministry. His undergrad while in school was in Christian Philosophy and even as a football player, he has started and run his own charity connecting the church and the impoverished called "We Care Ministries." Were he not in football, he would likely be doing a lot more with that side of things. However, the impact he could have had would have been far less broad than the impact that Schell could have today. And, while there is still plenty left to his football career, as Schell cashed this season's $5 million paycheck, he thought about all of the things he could do with those kinds of resources that previously would have been absolutely impossible. When his career on the football side of things does end, you better believe We Care Ministries will be getting a big time influx of leadership and activity from its founder. Without the ISFL, Schell would have likely been a pastor or non-profit leader, but with his ISFL career, the possibilities to make a positive change are virtually endless.
