Moved over Rudy-Dr. Kenneth Polke tells his own inspiring story of overcoming NFL obstacles in his new book, Conquering Your Adductions.
In a mixture of this memoir and a self-help book, Dr. Polk shared his inspirational journey, growing up from the Mafia street in Cleveland in the 1950s to the Catholic Men's School to watch the violence in the country. event. The civil rights movement and the Vietnam War saw his neighbor Collingwood becoming the bomb city of the United States and has been focused on walking straight and narrow roads, which will lead him to dream of playing in the NFL.
I am not a football fan, but I always like a good tattered to rich or dream come true story, every page of the book is full of both. One thing I really like about conquering your adversity is that Dr. Polk contrasts his personal story with what happened outside his private realm - in his city and country. As a result, the book is full of nostalgic feelings about the best days of America in the decades after the Second World War and some of the most turbulent times. At the heart of the story is the Polke family. Dr. Polk described growing up with his brother and sister and later little sister in a small house in Collingwood. His father read to them and educated them about everything from sports to the mafia. When his mother is not busy taking care of her family, she is working at the Jergens factory to make sure they have everything they need. Dr. Polk's parents are hardworking middle class who adhere to the Ozzie and Harriet values of the 1950s and instill them in their children, providing them with strength and ethical principles to follow in the temptation.
As a child, Dr. Polk has a temptation around him. His parents sent him to the Catholic school to keep him away from the troubled public schools, but even if surrounded by nuns, he couldn't help but steal a bottle of narcotics from the church. But what's worse is that the streets in his community are controlled by the mafia. Although Dr. Polk has never dealt directly with them, he always realizes that they are nearby; he often has to get from his father about how to deal with the difference. The clues of the situation, these situations are friendly and what to avoid.
The most important of the nearby mafia characters is Danny Greene, who will later become the subject of the movie "Killing the Irish." Dr. Polke had an unforgettable break with Greene when he was a child - fortunately, this made him understand why Greene was respected as a type of Robin Hood in his community, even though he also knew Greene' the choice was very wrong.
When things get tough, Dr. Polk is always able to persevere, but temptation always takes a simple approach to success there. When he doesn't have a lot of money, or his dreams don't seem to be realized, Dr. Polk sometimes sees the great guy driving a beautiful baby's beautiful car, and then he realizes that he can enjoy if he wants to join an organized Crime, this way of life. Instead, he chose sports-specific football - as his way out.
Dr. Polk's football career is impressive. He may not be a household name today, but he goes farther than most dream professional players. He told us the story of the great moments on the high school football field. When he met recruiters from different universities, we felt the butterfly in the belly like him. Extremely, when he finally got the magic phone, we felt they were shocked to fall off the chair. I don't want to break all the suspense, but I would say that Polke will eventually play for two different NFL teams.
Then, finally, he left the football to get something better...
You must read the rest of Dr. Polk's own story, not only to know what happened to him, but also to discover what happened to you. Each chapter that conquers your opponent ends with a series of challenging questions, allowing readers to reflect on Dr. Polk's story, think about the similar challenges they face, and figure out how to get around them. Finally, this book is a blueprint for readers to follow their dreams and succeed, no matter what obstacles they encounter.
If you want to be inspired, if you like history, if you are from Cleveland, if you like football, if you are alone, you will fall in love with this book because you ' it will be related to it, it will Help you overcome your own adversity. There are plenty of self-help books out there, but few can help explore how others overcome difficulties and get inspiration from his personal stories - and Dr. Polk offers it all the way.
