Pro Player Lifestyle Essays

There are things that shape and form a successful athlete. Everything from good old fashioned "Home Training" to actual athletic ability. During the next 10 weeks I will have to focus on an NFL player. He could be offense or defense however he will have made a significant impact in the NFL as well as the community whether good or bad.

There are SEVERAL players that are successful and REMAIN successful. Then there is the paradox. There are those players that remain in the news for rancid behavior. You must learn and study both sides so as not to find yourself in the pitfalls of success once you get to that place and stage in your life.

The report will have to have various elements that will be MANDATORY!!!

These are:

- Where they were born
- Was the family considered lower, upper or middle-class?
- What was there high school football career like (what high school and city?)
- How did they get to college (scholarship or paid tuition?)
- How did they contribute to the success of the College on and off the field?
- Did they play as freshmen (shows patience and character if they didn’t?)
- Was there any trouble in College?
- Were there any awards in college?
- Did they leave college early or did they finish their degree
- What place in the draft did they enter the NFL
- What team(s) have they played for (shows loyalty), how many years
- What has their contribution been for the city that they play in?
- Have there been any pro bowl appearances
- What organizations or charities have they founded or become a part of
- Have they EVER had any type of trouble or adversity in their career on or off the field since their NFL DEBUT?

These are the REQUIRED subjects that you will research and add to the report. This will not be in Question and Answer format. It will be in Essay format and will be at least 500 - 100 words. There will be no plagiarism allowed. I have access to TurnItIn.com and I will be able to tell if you copied and pasted the information in the paper. If there are words here in the instructions that you do NOT understand then I suggest that you grab a dictionary and look up the definition. There will be no compromises to these assignments.

The first player up for review will be none other than Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears.

To be successful you have to EAT, SLEEP, THINK and BREATHE success at all times. You must carry yourself as a LEADER and not a follower. This is your life. You and you alone (with the help of your support group) will determine your level of success.

Luck is where Preparation meets Opportunity.

BE PREPARED!!!
