Tremayne McNair
To anyone who feels its time to give up,
there is always a brighter day...
Two months a head of time, on November 12th, little Tremayne was born. Fighting against the odds of survival, he made it.
And that there was a signal that something special was about to begin…
At an early age it was easily known that his fasci-nation and talent for sports were very high! He was very athletic, and was a standout athlete…
especially in the sport basketball.
Once he reached middle school, he knew he wanted to play college sports! He broke records,
and won the “most athletic” award for his school. And from the outside looking in it
seemed to be the perfect life of an adolescent...
But little did they know that the when the clock stopped running, the whistles blew, and the jersey came off…
He went to a home that was full of problems. Every night was a hassle; arguing, money issues, yelling, but
one day he reached the absolutely low when he was told that his problems agreed to divorce and go there
separate ways…

Time went by and the not playing hurt, but

and couldn't play sports again, but he con-
tinuously saw himself at all the sporting
events, so it was obvious that he still had
the passion for the love of sports.
But on one day of class, the head football
coach noticed the potential in Tremayne
and decided to talk to him. The coach ex-
plained the opportunity of him playing col-
lege sports and gave him some words ad-
vice. He told Tremayne to keep his parents
problems their problems, and continue to
do what you love doing… playing sports.

the country! He focused on the right things. His grades reached the level of acceptance and his
success in both athletics and academics led him to a day he dreamed of as a kid.
