TERRAPIN TALES

As a boy growing up in Maryland, Scott McBrien possessed an uncanny ability to throw any type of ball with a coordinated, accurate motion. Determined to be a baseball player, Scott shunned everything about the game of football-until the day a friend convinced him to join a youth football league. As he grunted through lung-choking wind sprints, Scott began an exciting journey where he would tackle adversity head-on and focus on winning not just in the game of football, but also in the game of life. In a compelling true story about a gifted, yet at times uncertain, player and young man, Scott leads others through his quarterbacking progression from youth football through high school and West Virginia before a coaching change precipitated a gut-wrenching transfer to Maryland. As Scott details how he worked his way from being a walk-on who ran the scout team to a standout quarterback, he candidly reveals how he struggled within the dog-eat-dog world of NCAA football, persevered through challenges, and determinedly never let go of his dream. Terrapin Tales shares an inspirational coming-of-age true story of a young football player's unrelenting quest to become a Division 1 quarterback where he learned as much about life as the game itself.
