  • A driving force for athletes

    16 Nov 2009 | 6:39 am
    As I was putting together the story on young phenoms, I realized most teen athletes have a driving force, someone that pushes them to be great. Andre Agassi, Tiger Woods, Kaká, and Venus and Serena Williams have their fathers. Lebron James and Cristiano Ronaldo have their mothers. Mike Tyson had his trainer and adoptive dad, Constantine "Cus" D'Amato, and Dakota Simms has his parents, Terence and Yoshi. Darryl Dawkins told me his mother and pastor were major influences in his decision to go pro in 1975, but they weren't the only ones pushing him toward excellence.

I would see her once in a while at my health club, either teaching a cardio dance class or taking one and always having a great time. One day, I heard her tell someone, “I am the mom of eight kids,” which pretty much floored all of us within earshot. Another time, she mentioned that her husband was in Iraq. It struck me that you never really know how unexpected or complicated the life of the stranger next to you may be. I thought about pitching…

It was my job then to write about immigrants and refugees, and I covered the U.S. government’s resettlement of 3,800 “lost boys” of Sudan in the United States. I did that mainly by following Kuol and three others for their first few months in metro Atlanta, Georgia. They had grown up without mothers or fathers in the midst of an awful war and came to the United States with very little knowledge of the modern world. My work for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution grew into a…
