     I grew up poor - living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   1  money and
few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   2   and energetic. I understood that no matter
how poor a person was, they could   3   afford a dream.
     My dream was to be a   4  . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also   5 : my high - school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   6  me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   7  with him changed my life forever.
     It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   8  . This meant a chance for my first
income - cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   9  of savings for a house for my mother. The
opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   10   at it.
     Then I realized I would have to   11   summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I
would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. I was   12   about this.
     When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   13  as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your   14  days are limited. You can't afford to waste them."
     I stood before him with my head   15  , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   16   his disappointment in me.
     "How much are you going to make at this job?" he demanded.
     "$ 3.25 an hour," I replied.
     "Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   17  ?" he asked.
     That   18  laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I
devoted myself to   19   that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with
the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   20  of my dreams.
