The 22-year old was recently recorded skating The Berrics and giving an interview where he talks about both the challenges and the draw of skateboarding as well as balancing it with a professional football career.

John Kelly exemplifies how riding a piece of wood can create an almost meditative connection between body and mind and he showcases how that connection can influence personal growth and provide peace. Here, he shares a unique perspective on embracing the simple act of skateboarding, from someone who’s seemingly had a world of other opportunity at their fingertips. Very cool.
