Jeremi Ross – Athlete


Since the age of three, Jeremi Ross had been in and out of foster care and group homes. By the time he started Hollywood High in 2009, he was failing every subject. But then he met football coach Ceasar Sandoval and became interested in playing football. Yet taking the field, there was one catch: Ross would have to promise Coach Sandoval that he’d achieve a 2.0 grade point average (GPA). Upon making this deal, Ross not only achieved a 2.0 GPA, but he also rushed for 2,273 yards and scored 23 touchdowns playing quarterback in his first year of organized football. By the end of his sophomore year, Ross earned a 3.0 GPA and had become a leader both on and off the field.

Fast-forward to the present and Ross is getting ready to graduate with a B.A. degree from NCAA Division II Missouri Science and Technology in multidisciplinary studies, becoming the first in his family to earn a college degree. This past season he was named to the all-conference team.

Ross plans on training intensely over the next year for the 2018 NFL Combine. Just like his early years, he knows how to overcome any adversity that comes his way and continue to excel in hope of playing the sport so close to him.

The dream of salvation almost impossible

Daily Habits of Successful People

1. Successful people plan out their day the night before. Successful people spend a little time the night before giving themselves clear goals for the next day. Then they wake up and get the shit done.✋ 2. Successful people don’t get distracted by what other people are doing. You can learn from other people mistakes. But if you start comparing your progress to theirs, instead of using their stories as inspiration, you can feel jealous, stressed, unworthy.
