Confessions continue from Part 2
Below are a few more confessions from my email subscribers during our conversation:
Many people say that you will never play professional sports if you don’t get drafted from college. It’s true most of the time. Although, I had a burning desire to play professional football.
Despite the negative persuasions, I stayed fit and continued to network to build my contacts in that industry. I wasn’t going to limit myself to playing for the National Football League. There were other options too.
After three tryouts, I signed a 1 year contract to play for a team in the XFL and another 1 year contract to play for a team in Canada. I wasn’t the best player during those two years, but I enjoyed every moment of it. Now, I’m an assistant coach of a high school football team and college football team.
I had the courage. There were doubts that made me feel conflicted. But guess what? I didn’t give up. I HAD FAITH!

A good experience for me was attending Anarchapulco. I was conflicted because it was a long way from home, a 27 hour bus ride, and I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t sure if I was doing something worthwhile or wasting my time.
However, I trudged on and learned all I could about this movement. I also met a lot of great people down there including Kallen. I went as far as to fund a couple of people with my hard earned money — a venture that has become something great.
The unsecure feeling that I had about this whole thing started to fade away when I realized the seeds that I planted started to grow before my eyes.
