How does an undrafted free agent and two-sport college walk-on end up in a Chicago White Sox uniform?
With a college football career derailed by mononucleosis and a college baseball career shattered by rotator cuff surgery, Brian Kent's narrative will motivate any athlete. Follow the journey from high school to college(s); from the dojo to the independent leagues; and from personal training to a White Sox contract. While the ultimate goal - playing in the big leagues - was not reached, the path was filled with lessons guaranteed to inspire all readers.
As a high school ballplayer, Kent had aspirations of playing both Big Ten football and Major League Baseball. A product of great youth and high school coaching, he was recruited to play Division I football and Division I baseball, but without any scholarship offers from either sport. Undeterred, Kent accepted an invitation to be a preferred walk-on football player with the very real possibility of also being a scholarship baseball player--at the same Big Ten university. It was the definition of a dream coming true.
However, one "kissing disease" and major coaching dismissal changed everything. After self-reflection and a reassessment of goals, it was time to transfer, leave football behind and focus on baseball. Once again, a walk-on opportunity at a Big XII university presented itself--for a coach that wanted athletes, not just baseball players. It looked like the perfect scenario, and for a while, appeared to be. But, two evaluations with coaches behind-closed-doors revealed a sobering, disappointing reality. To keep his baseball dream alive, Kent had to transfer a second time; now to a Division II school. School number three included: an NCAA transfer-ineligible season; a scholarship received; injury-related poor performance; a scholarship eliminated; and career threatening shoulder surgery.
Our character is defined by how we handle adversity. As athletes and competitors, how do we conquer our personal demons and heal our minds? How do we stay motivated through injury, failure, and frustration? Through the feeling of not being wanted, and knowing that our window to fight is closing? How do we rebound and improve ourselves? What are we doing--right now--to make ourselves a better player? Where are we gaining physical and mental advantages? Who will we seek out to help us achieve our goals?
Learn how Brian Kent answered these questions, strengthened his weaknesses, and put himself in a position to take advantage of a golden opportunity.
A portion of Walked On's book sales have been donated to the On Your Mark Coaching and Training Game Changes scholarship fund - thank you for contributing. Led by Nike Master Trainer and OYM leadership council member David Carson, Game Changers is an athletic training program designed to give Chicago's youth the building blocks of performance and development. The scholarship awards qualified young athletes access to a high-level training experience, which will service the athlete both on and off the field.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
