As a result, he did not do well as a student, until he was taken into foster care. He grew in foster care and finally was adopted by a couple. His adoptive parents provided him with much love and care which his life lacked. Eventually, he improved as a student and enhanced his interest in sports. He worked hard to improve his grades to get through the ‘National Collegiate Athletic Association’ (NCAA). His passion for the game acted as fuel and he worked hard eventually, emerging as an exceptional player. Many universities wanted him to join their team and even offered him scholarship.
