"Rank F*****g Amateurs! But good dudes...." Al Davis (probably, if he ever met us....)

The world is awash with podcasts dedicated to the “1% of the 1%” that made or make their fame and fortune through sports.

This is not one of those podcasts.

Best known as non-professional American Football coaches, Nick Rockell and British American Football Hall of Fame Coach Mark Moss are absolute amateurs in in podcasting but always willing to try new things.

Join the long-time friends as they dig into the 99% of people that don’t get to rise to the publicly visible top of sports regardless of their time and sacrifice.

Maybe it’s a minority sport, they just aren’t good enough, tragedy came their way, or opportunities just haven’t materialised - the coaches find those that have achieved “success” in sport while living as regular Jimmy's and Jo's, talking about what sport means to them and its affect on their life and career.

In Season 1 the coaches revisit a period in their own coaching lives that makes them immensely proud - their combined13 years leading the London Blitz American Football program from 2003 through 2015 - talking to some of the standout players from teams in that era who have also gone on to stand out in their non-sport career.

Authentic (untrained), real (excuse us for that), and sometimes not for the faint-hearted (or impatient), we hope you enjoy this look at the genuine stories of the more conventional sports population.
