He's considered a motivational speaker by some. Trent Shelton is a man who wants to assist others. To some, he is a former professional football star, but to Trent Shelton, he is just a man who wants to help people. Trent, who was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and reared in Fort Worth, Texas, aspired to be a professional football player as a boy. While he realized his childhood dream, the former NFL player's career was marred by feelings of inadequacy and a persistent search for worldly things to temporarily fill the voids in his life. Trent didn't decide to work on becoming the greatest person he could be until he hit rock bottom after getting dismissed from many NFL clubs and the birth of his son.

Trent took out his iPhone in March 2009 and began uploading two-minute videos of his accomplishments as a way of staying accountable and improving his life. It's RehabTime was the ending of each of his videos. RehabTime Organization, a 501(c)3 nonprofit with a mission to encourage individuals to change through hope and faith, sprang out of those two-minute movies a few years later. Trent now reaches over 35 million people per week on average through his daily messages and videos.

The motivational speaker has more than 4 million Facebook friends, Instagram followers, and Twitter followers, whom he refers to as Rehabbers. Trent is the best-selling author of three life-application books and the It All Begins with You life-application journal. Trent has been able to travel all over the world to tell his testimony and offer people messages of change and hope as a result of following his calling. Trent credits his biggest accomplishment as helping individuals develop their relationship with Jesus Christ through RehabTime, despite being pushed to become a better man by the birth of his son and many of life's challenges.

While the former professional player previously aspired to a long career in the league, he now realizes that God's plan for his life is far greater than anything he could have envisioned. RehabTime.Org - TrentShelton.com
