When I was a young man, my goal was to be a walk-on wide receiver for a major college football team. My size was against me, though. At five feet eight inches and 140 pounds, I was the smallest guy at the Tulane University tryouts. Yet I persevered, creating a strategic plan of rigorous exercise and nutrition and developing an attitude that said, “Never give up.” I ended up being the smallest guy on the team and the smallest player in the country, but I earned my varsity letter.
