There is adversity to overcome in this world whether it be at your workplace or even somewhere as simple as the gridiron. Nate Jackson takes us through his story of his life overcoming adversity as a football player.
Jackson started his career at a small D3 school, was signed by the 49ers to shortly be given up to the Denver Broncos where he spent 6 years of his life. Throughout his NFL career he had gone back and fourth between the practice squad, to the actual roster but always seemed to be interfered with because of the injured reserve where it is apparent he spent an abundant amount of time.
Every chapter Jackson describes how his life is like so many in the NFL but those who overcome will eventually prosper.
This book starts out very intriguing and really grabbed my attention but it slowly started to diminish. The same point can only be made so many times. It eventually just turned into a rave about how his injuries were so preventing and how that was the reason he isn't starting or he isn't where he wants to be because of some other reason. These just seem like poor excuses for not doing what he had to do to begin with. I would recommend this to someone who does not appreciate sports because it will give you more points on why you feel this way.
