Michael Vick, Pac Man Jones, Cornelius Bennett, Warren Moon, Jake Plummer and the late Sean Taylor are just some NFL names making headlines — and not for their on-field heroics. In this age of athletes behaving badly, professional manager and trainer Kerry Pharr takes a hard look at the violence of sports and the often violent personal lives of today’s pro athletes.

Pharr examines what happens to athletes once the bright lights are extinguished and shares his personal insights into fighting demons from the past and getting up after life knocks you down. His years of working with pro athletes give him a true insider’s view on the trials and tribulations of today’s professional athletes.

Is O.J. the Most Notorious Sports Criminal Ever?
Pharr dares to answer these questions and more for your audience:

• Is it the fame, fortune and females that corrupt pro athletes from football players to pro boxers?

• Is it the street code many refuse to leave behind?

• Why are so many athletes today in trouble with the law?

• What sport is the most corrupt?

• Do pro athletes suffer from an inordinate amount of depression and addiction?
