This book is about growing! Growing as a child, as a person, as a player as a man, husband and father. Growth requires learning from mistakes you have made and will make. It’s about watching and listening to others who can help you to not always take the hardest road. A Tigers Tale will help you to see that you can stand in the midst of adversities and come out on top. There are and will always be opportunities to quit, but don’t do it! I had many failures and a few victories in my football career, but God has helped me to forget and has redeemed the time I wasted goofing off instead of taking full advantage of the opportunities that were set before me. My life, recruitment and career is a tale that I hope will make you laugh and may possibly bring you to tears. I really hope that by the end of this book you will be encouraged in your walk through life with the Lord. Don’t give up on your dreams and never let your life be summed up in a relatively short period of time where of missed opportunity. People may try to make your whole life’s meaning about that one period of time, but refuse to yield to this, just pick up and go forward to the next opportunity. Terry is a former Auburn Tiger.
