    About this audiobook

    Over a dozen seasons, Charles Tillman established himself as the greatest cornerback in the storied history of the Chicago Bears. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Tillman has been distinguished as one of the NFL's most opportunistic defensive backs, intercepting 36 passes and forcing 42 fumbles-the most in the league since his rookie year in 2003. In fact, he popularized the “Peanut Punch,” a nod to his childhood nickname and a tribute to his knack for jarring a football from the grasp of an offensive player.But even more than his acclaim on the field, Tillman is highly regarded off the field. With his father serving in the United States Army, Tillman attended 11 different schools domestically and internationally. Lightly recruited out of Copperas Cove High School in Texas, Tillman was offered a single Division 1-A scholarship, but he shined at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and was selected by the Bears in the second round of the NFL Draft.In 2005, Tillman and his wife Jackie established the Cornerstone Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides resources and opportunities to children in need. Tillman was a 2012 finalist for the NFL Players Association's Byron White Man of the Year award, and he was the 2013 winner of the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award, which “recognizes a player's off-the-field community service as well as his playing excellence.”The Middle School Rules of Charles Tillman will feature the defining childhood stories of a young, well-traveled boy nicknamed “Peanut,” who had to deal with racism, adapt to constant relocation, and endure the divorce of his parents. Inspired by faith and family, Tillman persevered and carved out an indelible mark both on and off the field.

      This simple little book really packed a punch. It is the story of NFL player Charles Tillman growing up. His family was very close and they had rules to live by. Everyone had them, his grandmother, his mother, his deddy, even his brother. While growing up he dealt with many things such as racism, relocation due to his father's career in the armed forces, death of family members and his parent's divorce. Through all of this, he remembered and followed the rules such as:"Honor your elders and treat them with respect, meaning no bad attitudes", "Be open-minded and adventurous", "Kindness will take you a long way and make you a lot of friends","Think before you act, don't just do something, think about the consequences", and "Don't be afraid to try something new." There were many more but they were all great rules to live by. Charles, known as Peanut in the story, learned from his experiences and I think the book will teach something to all those who read it. I think it would be a great book for boys, especially those who want to pursue a career in sports.

      I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
