Right now, there is no "after football" for Yellowknife Wraiths receiver Bailey Cook. There is only football, and well...who knows what will come after it. The focus is right now.
With all that said, he does have an avenue to potentially go down. Cook has always been an avid writer. He used to blog back in high school, and always aced his writing and English courses. In a scouting interview way back then, the reporter asked him about his academics and he listed writing as his favorite part of school. His interests in writing are quite varied, as he has done everything from poems to short stories, to memoirs, and of course, song lyrics.
Could Bailey Cook sustain a writing career after football? I'm sure he could. He is building up a reputation as a very likable person in the league and I would imagine that would carry over into his post-career. The man has a fanbase, and I know I for one would certainly read his writing when all is said and done.
It is nice to think about Bailey Cook as a writer, but like I said in the opening, there is only Bailey Cook as a football player right now. That is job one, and once he finishes that, it can be on to job two.
