Bay Area Panthers linebacker Wes Bowers

The Indoor Football league is an off the grid sport played on a 50-yard field in an arena where padded walls frame the playing surface. Men who play have motivations from simply loving the game to catching the eye of someone who can take their game to the next level. Kurt Warner cut his teeth with the Iowa Barnstromers of the Arena Football League before becoming a Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee.

Wes Bowers is a linebacker for the Bay Area Panthers of the Indoor Football League. He played collegiately at Georgetown and Bowie State before a stint in the XFL. Bowers has carved out a niche in the indoor game while always looking to improve.

Bowers and Dave discuss the challenges of playing indoors, those who have been supportive during the journey, his go-to Karoake song along with a love of cooking. This is a good guy who lives with an attitude of gratitude.

Panthers’ Kurt Bryan on building winning culture in the IFL

"I'm what's known as an 'over-communicator' so the players never have to wonder what I'm thinking or how I'm feeling. They know it's all about them. The staff is human, too. So don't mistake our kindness for weakness. So that's our approach. Always make sure they know what, how and why we're doing something. So win the day, win the week and win every game. I've never met a player or coach who practices to lose...when things don't go your way, we can either change what we're doing, change how we're doing it and/or change who we're doing it with."
