40-year-old rugby star Quade Cooper is considering a potential switch to American football, believing his experience could bridge the gap between Australia and the US's leading flag football programs.
Cooper emphasizes the advantages of incorporating athletes from established sports like rugby, AFL, and NRL into the burgeoning flag football scene to accelerate its growth. He highlights that the existing skill set in these sports is transferable, reducing development time.
While he could continue his rugby career for another three years, Cooper is undecided about his future. He sees playing flag football next month as an opportunity to help shape his future decisions. His upcoming participation in a flag football tournament in the US will inform his choice of retiring from rugby, pursuing flag football full-time, or even continuing his rugby career.
