An amazing story on tragedy and triumph from 2 years ago on Harvard football player Matt Curtis. Coming from the depths of poverty & heartache to making something of himself, this is a great story. Here is what Harvard head coach Tim Murphy has to say about him:
“If you ever have a day when you question why you are in coaching, Matt Curtis will put an end to it because he represents everything that is good about college football. Football, more than any other sport, allows character and heart to transcend ability. And while Matt has tremendous talent, it pales in comparison to his work ethic, toughness and ability to overcome adversity.”
This is the Boston Globe story written by Jackie McMullan and here is the Harvard athletics website for another story.
