From HERO to nearly FORGOTTEN:
Only the Elite Elite 1% make it… Part 3
So this Athlete I was speaking about in the previous article part 2 is now a blue collar worker and raising a family, his football days well passed him as hit the age of 30 years old.
He speak of his glory days in high school and record setting sack night as well as his games where he dominated offenses with his defensive leadership.
How can a talented high schooler get shunned from collegic glory? As I explained before, his coach screwed him over to favor his son and another top offensive player on the team. His parents were supportive yet didn’t have the know how to get him the resources he needed or receive the cooperation from the coach in getting his footage to scouts.
He did walk on to an HBCU college and didn’t stay long on the team or college due to personal reasons.
There are many athletes who have been a brutal force on the field but never took it further from high school except for those who had the full support.
