The Rock talks about how football saved him and made him who he is today, how it helped him prepare for wrestling, and much more. You can read a few excerpts below:

The Rock on falling in love with football and how it drove him to succeed:  

“I fell in love with the game. It was more than that, actually. It gave my life a purpose. Coach Cwik sat me down and said, ‘Listen, your family doesn’t have any money. Your grades are average. If you’re going to get out of this town and make a different life for yourself, football is the vehicle.’ He explained how I could get a scholarship, and that was a whole shift in my psychology. Suddenly I had a chance to become the first person in my family to go to college. I became obsessed with making it.”

The Rock talks about learning how to trash talk while at ‘The U’ in Miami: 

“Oh, man, the s— talking was an art form. It never stopped, and it was creative. It helped me when I got into wrestling, right, tapping into all of that for the Rock.”
