Sports agent Sean Stellato will be at Barnes & Noble

Posted

Barnes & Noble Warwick will host author and NFL sports agent Sean Stellato for a book signing for his book, No Backing Down: The Inspirational Story of the 1994 Salem High School Football Team, Sunday, Nov. 23 from 4:00-6:00pm at 1350 Bald Hill Road, Warwick. The first 10 customers to purchase his book and have it signed will also receive a signed New England Patriots player photo.

NFL sports agent Sean Stellato has never backed down from a challenge. Once told “skinny kids don’t make it in a sport full of giants,” he defied the naysayers to become a star quarterback at Salem High School during a tumultuous time in the town’s history. After standing on the sidelines as a sophomore and watching his beloved team suffer a crushing defeat, he bravely told revered coach Ken Perrone that if he believed in him and started him as quarterback the next season, he’d lead the Salem Witches to the Super Bowl. He did, despite the perfect storm of political, legal and personal turmoil that surrounded his team when a contentious teacher’s strike almost put an end to Salem’s legendary season.

Stellato tells the remarkable story of this modern-day hysteria in Salem and the diverse group of underdogs, their almost insurmountable personal struggles and how they banded together to take on the school administration and the courts to achieve victory in No Backing Down: The Inspirational Story of the 1994 Salem High Football Team.

With a foreword by former NFL and CFL star Doug Flutie and endorsements from 1980 Olympic hero Mike Eruzione, NFL future Hall of Famer Mark Bavaro, famed NFL coach Mike Ditka and boxing legend Evander Holyfield, No Backing Down strikes right at the heart of anyone who ever played a sport or believed in a team.
