Derrick Furlow Jr shares the story of his rise from inner-city kid to professional football player. His faith and work ethic powered him past adversity, including a season-ending knee injury while still in school. 

Furlow teaches us that we can overcome almost anything life throws our way, as long as we have the right attitude. After retiring from pro football, Furlow authored What's Next? How to Transition Like a Champion. He now teaches retired athletes how to transition to life after sports.
