I grew up poor – living with six brother...

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36  money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37   and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38   afford a dream.

My dream was to be a   39  . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball. I was also   40  : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   41  me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   42  with him changed my life forever.

It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43  . This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44  of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45   at it.

Then I realized I would have to   46   summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47   about this.

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   48  as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your   49  days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”

I stood before him with my head   50  , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51   his disappointment in me.

“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.

“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.

“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   52  ?” he asked.

That   53  laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54   that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55  of my dreams.
