Shannon Eastin was the first woman to work as an NFL official back in 2012. It was Shannon's passion from a young age and she shares this story in her new book: "Lady Ref: Making Calls in a Man's World". Her story is eye-opening and inspiring. Shannon had natural athletic abilities early in life, excelling in Judo, winning competitions against older and more experienced opponents. It was really an important foundation for her future life and refereeing basketball and football games in high school and college levels. The NFL was her dream and she did achieve it, but she reflects on the sacrifices it demanded and is philosophical about her life.
