The movie that had a character with the largest parallel to my character in real life was Willie Beamen who was the protagonist in Oliver Stone's epic football tale "Any Given Sunday".

His stunning performance over several games is so outstanding and fresh it seems to give birth to the struggling Miami franchise, as well as forcing an old fashioned coach Tony D'Amato to reevaluate his time-tested values and strategies and begin to confront the fact that the game, as well as post-modern life may be pass him by if he doesn't learn to adapt to change. Adding to the pressure on D'Amato to change or win at any cost is the aggressive young President/Co-owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci who is now becoming her own women after her father's death. Christina's driving desire to prove herself in a male dominated world is intensified by her focus on the marketing and business of football, in which all coaches and players are merely properties. Not to give the movie away but the major characters I mention end up relying on each other to reach success it is a movie I truly hope you get to watch.

Our examination with Willie is going to start with his college career where he was moved from his true position Quarterback to cornerback, because some redneck coach didn't like the idea of having a black quarterback,
