"Jamaal Charles shined as a two-sport athlete at the University of Texas. As a running back, he helped the Longhorns win the national football championship, and he claimed four All-American titles as a sprinter and hurdler. With a rare combination of speed and elusiveness, Jamaal is already the Kansas City Chiefs all-time leading rusher and owns a special NFL record: more yards per carry (5.5) than any other running back with at least 1,000 carries. The Middle School Rules of Jamaal Charles depicts the bullying and teasing Jamaal endured due to a long-undiagnosed learning disability. This disability provided him with an opportunity to participate in the Special Olympics when he was ten years old. The gold medals he won at the Special Olympics inspired and empowered him. Encouraged by family and friends, Jamaal relentlessly chased dreams some believed were out of his reach. Read about the challenges Jamaal had to overcome and the lessons he learned on his unbelievable journey."--Page [4] of cover.
