Too light, they thought. By the time National Signing Day rolled around in February 2002, not a single Division 1 or Division 2 school offered Antoine Bethea a football scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At 5 feet 11 and 170 pounds, Bethea did not fit the mold of a college middle linebacker, the position he played as a high school senior. But while Bethea didn't have prototype size, what those colleges couldn't measure was how much he wanted to succeed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bethea attended Howard University -- a nearby historically black college -- and walked onto the team, determined to earn a football scholarship. Bethea's bet on himself eventually paid off, despite a series of setbacks and no shortage of doubters, as this ultimate underdog grew into a Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowler thanks to seven core lessons he'll share in this book, including: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - No Excuses, No Explanations\u003cbr\u003e Why the motto of Bethea's Super Bowl championship team resonates in all walks of life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - Take Slights Personally \u0026amp; Never Get Complacent\u003cbr\u003e The secret to developing and maintaining an unyielding mental edge.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - Stand For What You Believe In\u003cbr\u003e Why personal integrity drove Bethea's decision to join the NFL anthem protests.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is not only the inside story of how Antoine Bethea bucked the odds to become an NFL star; it's also a case study on how to fight back when people underestimate you. If Antoine Bethea -- a 5-foot-nothing middle linebacker with zero college scholarship offers -- can go on to play 13 years in the NFL, then you can also make your dreams come true, too, whatever they are, as long as you learn how to bet on yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 10, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485486891261,"sku":"9780998044811","price":44.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/UVh1SWQxVzZaVHU3MFA2TWJSaW16dz09.webp?v=1777694187","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/bet-on-yourself-inside-the-mind-of-the-ultimate-underdog-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
