Your favorite heroes started out just like you when they were little. What was the difference that lead you into a cubicle and lead them to super-stardom and fortune? Not much. Whatever that dogged determination was, they moved further and higher, driven by poverty, broken homes, great coaches, supportive parents and a need to become the best; nothing could get in their way.
These are some of sport’s greatest legends before they were anyone special and before they made their mark on the world.
