Published: July 30, 2021, 2:09 p.m.

Not everyone's journey to the collegiate world of sports is the same. You can be a great athlete in High School, but sometimes, you may not get the looks you feel you should get. And that means, your journey may be a tad different.  For DaWud Shorts, who recently was seen on a viral video which you can see here,  was well known by those who paid attention to Football WAY BEFORE that video ever was present. But see, he didn't get himself a scholarship right out of high school, so he had to walk-on and pay his way through college, WHILE PLAYING FOOTBALL!!  What many will never understand, is just how hard this truly is for any athlete, to be able to compete at the collegiate level, go to school, AND work a job to save up money!  You'll learn from DaWud (Wu for short) about perseverance and hard work. You will also hear about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right types of influences in your life to teach you the right work ethic that's required to excel in life!  This is an inspiring story that you DO NOT want to miss! You'll be glad you listened in!  And hey, while you're at it, leave a review for me on Apple Podcast so we can continue to get this story out there for more people to hear!
