As a high school athlete transitioning into playing college sports or an individual transitioning into a new career or phase in one’s life, know that there will be ups and downs, highs and lows, and pitfalls to overcome. In 3rd & 10/ Overcoming the Pitfalls of Becoming a College Football Player, author Dr. Roosevelt 'Bug' Isom, Jr. describes some of the pitfalls pertaining to the game of football, in life, and how to overcome, despite the constant challenges we face. Filled with painful truths, realistic guidance, motivating quotes, and riveting testimonies, 3rd & 10/Overcoming the Pitfalls of Becoming a College Football Player is a must read for all high school and college athletes, specifically football players, men and women, and mothers and fathers who seek guidance for their kids and for themselves on how to persevere, gain strength, grow spiritually, and overcome the pitfalls in life. 'A famous Chinese proverb states,' To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.' In other words, if you want to know what to expect on your journey, take the time to learn from someone who has already been there. My friend, Dr. Roosevelt Isom Jr., has not only traveled the roads that you have begun to navigate, but he is also passionate about sharing the biggest lessons from that journey. Through 3rd & 10, he provides a transparent account of both his triumphs and defeats as a Division I student-athlete.Experience is truly the best teacher; however, not all learning experiences have to be your own. If you are committed to being the absolute best college student-athlete that you can be, I encourage you to read every word in this book with a receptive heart and an open mind. In doing so, you will have the opportunity to unlock your fullest potential in every aspect of your life.In my travels to various schools around the country as a motivational speaker, I constantly encounter young athletes who become their own worst enemies in their pursuit of success. Instead of being intentional about the steps they should take to see long-term success both on and off the field, they rely solely on their athletic talent, expecting all of the right cards to simply fall into place. However, the reality is that only 2% of all high school football players actually make it to the NFL, and many football standouts are prepared for neither the academics of college nor for life once their football careers come to an end.If you utilize the tools provided to you within the pages of this book, you can be confident that you will be able to successfully navigate the waters of being a college football player and overcome any pitfalls that commonly hold student-athletes back from achieving their goals. Dr. Isom is a living testimony of the ups and downs that can occur as a result of your decisions both in the classroom and on the football field. As someone who wants to see you succeed, I urge you to consciously carry each of these powerful lessons with you every day as you transition into college football.'Your future self will thank you for it!Raven Magwood, International Speaker, Best Selling Author
