"Matt ""Turbo"" Shelton is a Notre Dame Football record holder, wide receiver from 2001-2005, and author of ""Rising thru every Fall."" When not petting random dogs, Matt is watching or playing sports ... yes, pickleball, cornhole, and darts count these days. After career-threatening injuries in high school, Matt accepts a scholarship to play college football; that's when his journey becomes truly unexpected and unprecedented: fighting more career-threatening injuries, narrowly escaping death, and enduring FIVE head coaches in FIVE years, while breaking a ND Football record that stood for 25 years - all before getting his chance in the NFL. Only eight players can take you behind-the-scenes of these Notre Dame Football coaching carousel years. Would you have the resolve to overcome Matt's injuries, changes, and doubts?"
