Step into the world of Coach Norman Whipple, who was born and raised in Savannah, Ga., by his Grandmother, and his activities were Church, Roller Skating, and School.

Then life took a detour, and what followed next was quite an adventure.

As you'll hear today, life wasn't easy, and he's crossed those bridges of feeling worthless and facing battles through his life's journey of Bullying, Drugs, Rock and Roll, Suicidal thoughts and attempts, and homelessness.

Coach Whipple says he's met these battles face to face, which has led him to where he is today.
