Defensive backs are supposed to have short memories, yet nobody seems willing to let Vernon Hargreaves forget how his two seasons in the NFL have not lived up to the promise of a first-round pick. So here are the facts:
When people think of Mike Vick they think of a dogfighter, well that's not entirely true he isn't all a dog fighter. Vick is also a great NFL running quarterback. Michael Dwayne Vick was born in Newport Virginia. He didn't realize the skill that he had until he was in 7th grade. When he went to high school he was the second best quarterback in Virginia, he was the second because the 1st was Ronald Curry.
Thomas Heyward. Jr. was born July 28, 1746, on his father's’ plantation in St. Lukes Parish, South Carolina. He is named Thomas Heyward. Jr. because his father named his older sibling as well, so gave him the Jr. at the end of his name to make a distinction between the two. He grew up pretty wealthy, with his father being one of the wealthiest rice planters at the time. Heyward’s dad wanted what was best for his three children’s education so Heyward got an education at home, then went to England to study law at Cambridge University. Heyward’s father was also a strong royalist, and was devoted to the King.
Bruce Jenner was born on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York. Bruce was the second of four children of William and Estelle Jenner. Bruce was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age and always struggled in school, yet somehow always seemed to excelled at sports. Following high school, Bruce accepted a scholarship from Graceland College in Iowa for football. After he suffered a knee injury it restricted him to only playing either basketball or track, he then made the decision to switching over to running track and field. His coach then encouraged him to start training for the 1972 Olympics. Something I found interesting was that his father William Jenner had competed in the U.S. Army Olympics in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1945, and won a silver medal in the 100-yard dash. When Bruce competed in the 1972 decathlon in Munich Germany, Bruce placed third in the Olympic trials and tenth at the actual Munich Games. At the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal however, Bruce ended up winning a gold medal and broke a world record, scoring over 8,000 points in the decathlon.

Transformational leaders enhance their followers’ morale and performance through various avenues and that’s exactly what Mr. Hefner completed. In a world where public indecency was frowned upon and sexual behaviors were kept behind closed doors, Hugh Hefner did the unthinkable. Although Hefner was successful in his career, he was not always
