Candler Cook knows firsthand that dreams can come true-but only if you're willing to fight for them.
A lifelong Bulldogs fan, Candler decided at age seven that he wanted to play football for the University of Georgia. Despite being only a fourth-string linebacker on his high school squad, he remained laser-focused on his quest. Rejection followed rejection, but he refused to give up, even when others insisted that he'd never make the team. After years of intensive workouts and grueling self-reinvention, Candler Cook finally played his first football game for UGA-1,543 days after he walked into the coach's office and requested a tryout.
A fascinating inside look at SEC football and a guidebook for anyone pursuing a seemingly unattainable goal, From Underdog to Bulldog is the remarkable true story of one young man's extraordinary efforts to make the impossible happen. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

And I may have shed a tear or two, so surprisingly moving given it is about football. I finished it in a day, and to be honest, I am really not a football fan so that tells you something.
This memoir tells the story of a college student who wanted more than anything to play football for University of Georgia - a team he had been watching since he was a little boy. The odds were definitely very against him as he barely played on his high school team and was way undersized.
The book tells the story of how the author overcame the odds, but it also contains some motivational quotes and thoughts to help the reader achieve their own goals. I keep toying with the idea of writing a novel, and this book is definite encouragement for putting in the work and the time necessary to achieve hard things. But also, this story serves as a great reminder to enjoy and have gratitude for the journey. (
