Early life
As we already mentioned, Pat did not have a happy childhood, he grew up in very difficult and bad conditions for his life. Pat was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he grew up with his parents and his older brother and sister.
His brother was also an athlete, he trained basketball and football, but in high school he experienced a very serious injury after which he could not continue his career. His coach and teammates predicted that he would achieve a great career and become a professional NBA team player, but this injury prevented him from realizing his dreams.
Unfortunately, Pat’s parents did not have enough money to help their son, so he was forced to change his career. Pat spotted his talent very early, he grew up kicking the ball and it was clear that he would be an athlete. Although he dreamed of becoming a basketball player as a boy, Pat changed his decision in high school.
Pat acknowledged a major turn in his life when his brother experienced a leg injury. His parents were scared, and they tried to reverse Pat from his decision. Still, Pat did not give up, he believed in himself and in his dreams.
His parents were very devoted to the children, Pat’s mother was a home assistant to a wealthy family, and she also had numerous part-time jobs, she tried to help her family. Pat’s father was a former soccer player, he loved sport, but he never achieved great results, nor did he manage to become a professional player.
Pat said that his father was very talented, but he did not have enough luck and money to achieve a successful career.
Pat got his first job when he was only 12 years old, he started working in a local restaurant where he washed dishes and helped cooks. Although his parents did not want Pat to do this early, he decided to save money for his sneakers and clothes.
As a teenager, he was very persistent and ready for hard work. In addition to his abilities, Pat was a very good student, he had good grades and he liked to read. He participated in numerous school events, but high school there was a turning point in his life. When he started high school, he did not even dream that it would help him to realize his dreams and start a professional football career. During the first few months in high school, Pat spoke with school coach and told him to pay attention to his game.
However, the school coach said that his game is rather amateur, and that it is clear he does not have enough experience, he told him to forget about football and to devote himself to learning. At that moment, his dreams broke down; he lost all hope of becoming a football player and decided to listen to the coach’s advice. His parents agreed with the coach’s decision, and they did not want Pat to have the same fate as his older brother.
After a year, a new coach came to the school who immediately noticed Pat and his game. He advised him to start training together, but told him not to expect big results. Pat accepted the offer of his coach and he decided to show his skills and talents.
He trained every day, sometimes twice a day, the trainings were very hard and intense, but this did not prevent him from realizing his goals. After several months of persistent work, Pat changed his game and joined the school team. Then, for the first time, the attention of the media was drawn to him and many critics believed that Pat was the new star of American football.
