Sean Kelly

Sean Kelly was a student manager for the Duke Basketball team from 2011-2014 before joining the team as a walk-on in 2015 and becoming a National Champion. He talks about moving from Carmel, New York, to Raleigh, North Carolina, at a young age and coming from an athletic family  where his parents both played sports in the Ivy Leagues, his sister played volleyball at Elon, and his brother Ryan also played basketball at Duke, (National Champion in 2010) played in the NBA, and currently plays overseas. Sean describes how he got into basketball and baseball, his interesting high school sports career at Ravenscroft where he mainly focused on baseball, his decision to attend Duke, and why he decided to become a student manager. He breaks down the duties of student managers, working for Coach K, getting to be around his older brother, Ryan, and his decision to transition to a player.  Sean details the work he put in to get in shape, finding out he made the team, what it was like to suit up every game,  the 2015 team chemistry, their run to the Final Four, and winning the National Championship. He then discusses his life as a husband and father, attending Coach K's last home game, and how he thinks Jon Scheyer will do as Head Coach.
