Add to basketPaperback. Embark on an extraordinary journey with Martin Gramatica, the first Argentinean to conquer the NFL and achieve the ultimate dream: winning the Super Bowl. But behind the triumphs lies a gripping story of resilience, marked by abuse, violence, and the relentless pursuit of a better future. Brace yourself for a captivating memoir that will leave you inspired, moved, and craving for more. In this raw and powerful account, Gramatica shares his humble beginnings as an immigrant, leaving Argentina for the United States. From state to state, he faces the constant threat of immigration, while enduring a harrowing cycle of abuse and control. Yet, through the birth of his first child, he finds the strength to break free and forge a path towards a life of his own. Prepare to be captivated by Gramatica's indomitable spirit as he navigates the treacherous world of professional football, fighting not only for success on the field but also for his own identity and the safety of his loved ones. This is more than a memoir; it is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit and a reminder that, against all odds, we can rise above our circumstances and create a life worth fighting for. What they have said about Martin: Ronde Barber: All I knew about Martin before he came to Tampa was his nickname, and there is no doubt that he more than justified it! I loved his energy for his job. It was something you could count on every week. Coaches talk a lot about the abilities needed out of their players - at his position, Martin had the one needed most . reliability. Great guy, phenomenal teammate, and on a team full of All-Pro talent, he was as, if not more, integral to our success and ultimately our ride to World Champions. Derrick Brooks: Martin was one of my favorite teammates of all time. He was one of best players for years! A lot of our wins came from his right foot. He got the most out of his talents and with his size he showed that football has a place for anyone! When I think of clutch players, Martin always come to mind. I wanted him to know how much I respected him and that is why I chose to thank him as a part of my Hall Of Fame speech! Warren Sapp: There's three things on my team you don't mess with my coach, my QB and my FG Kicker!! We balled Buc Ball and Martin was our MVP!! And others like Mike Alstott, Bill Snyder, Rich Bisaccia, Joe Marciano, Brad Johnson. Discover them. With foreword by Tony Dungy. This item is printed on demand.
