Andrew Hamilton grew up in a family where his father was a known womanizer. He watched his father disrespect his mother on a consistent basis in the presence of friends and family. Jesse Hamilton, Andrew’s father, was not much of a role model to Andrew or his siblings. He never spent a lot of time with them or provided for them. But he had plenty of time to spend with other women and hang out with his drinking buddies. His family was second class citizens and was not top priority to him.Doreen Hamilton, Andrew’s mother, was a church-going Christian who tried to keep her family together. The harder she tried the more Jesse put her down. She could not do anything right. Doreen’s family and friends tried to get her to leave him, but she was determined to stick with her marriage for better or for worse.Andrew took up football to pass the time away while in school and became one of the best running backs to come out of high school. He was an all-state football star. He was exceptionally good, and major universities were interested in signing him to a full athletic football scholarship.His father was always busy doing other things, so he never came to any of his games. Jesse thought it was a waste of time and boring. Andrew vowed that he would never be like his father. He did not want to be the type of man who was a womanizing dog that did not care about anybody but himself. He promised that he would never disrespect or mistreat women. But he became a product of the environment that his father introduced him to. Andrew inherited his father’s womanizing player ways and became what he hated most about him-hence 'A Player’s Inheritance.'
