Summary
"Born in poverty, [Jovan Haye] immigrated to the U.S., lived in violent low-income neighborhoods, suffered abuse at home, and believed he was 'a dumb kid' because of undiagnosed dyslexia and a host of dyslexia-related conditions. Then he discovered his gift for athletics. His success in team sports gave him confidence to face other challenges and to overcome his biggest obstacle of all--severe dyslexia. He became an honor roll student, graduated from Vanderbilt, and went on to play for seven years in the NFL. Now Jovan Haye is a husband, proud father, and the owner of a successful business. 'Bigger Than Me' tells how he accessed the power that pushed him forward and allowed him to triumph on and off the playing field."--Back cover.
