Many will remember University of Georgia All SEC placekicker, Kim Braswell. If you are a Dawg fan and in your late 60's, you will will remember his winning field goal against the Florida Gators in 1972 with seconds left on the clock. Dawg fans were very loud in Jacksonville that fall afternoon cheering for Kim Braswell. The fact is, Kim did not hear the cheering that day. He was deaf. Additionally, Kim was suffering from diabetes. It's a miracle he was even on the field that day or the three years he lettered for UGA in football or the four years he lettered in baseball. Against all odds, Kim not only was a great baseball player and kicked footballs with amazing precision but he also had to constantly kick adversity aside to survive as an athlete and later as long time high school football coach. You will chuckle at some of his stories but you will also be inspired - and maybe even take a fresh look at others who are fighting adversity in their lives. His recently released book is entitled, "Kicking Adversity Aside - The Kim Braswell Story." After you listen to this podcast, you may have the urge to go to Amazon and order his book. If you follow through with that urge, you will be glad you did. (A special thanks to Kristin Braswell Waddy & Keith Windham for their contribution).
