The time for Zach Crossley to hang up his cleats and retire from the ISFL is near. While some former players go on to make a big splash in their post ISFL lives, Crossley does not have as high of ambitions. Instead, he would like to return to his hometown of Philadelphia. There he plans on taking a job at his former high school lower Merion as a coach. However, Crossley doesn't have his eye on football coaching, rather his first true love: Track & Field. Crossley wants to go and give back to the school that allowed him to first find his love of the 800 meters. In that race and on that team, Crossley developed his love for sports and the team atmosphere they bring. He feels there is no better competition in the world than the race against the clock and yourself as you try to better you time each race. Crossley hopes to encourage more athletes from his hometown to try track and field as it allows for every athlete to develop skills that can be used in other sports and in life.
