Born To Play

About the Book

Every little boy has dreams: big dreams of playing Major League Baseball. They envision themselves at bat in the ninth inning of the World Series or on the mound facing the imposing batters in the bottom of that inning. They play out this scenario over and over in their minds as if preparing themselves for this future event. As the boys become young men what happens to those dreams? Where do these young men get off track? There are many reasons why these young men are diverted from their dreams and potential life’s path. In my book, Born to Play; I will show you that Brandon Martinez’s disorder (Tourette Syndrome), discrimination and bad politics almost prevented my child from achieving his boyhood dream. I want to invite everyone into Brandon Martinez’s unique life. I will detail Brandon’s disorder, (Tourette Syndrome), discrimination from a school district and point out how important it is to fight for your children in both the academic and athletic arena. I want you to enjoy Brandon’s story and learn from my experience as his father. My hope is ultimately you will be educated by this book. I want to assist you in your own personal battle and gear you with the tools and knowledge to help your child overcome his/her personal obstacles or special needs. My fight for Brandon helped him carve a path to the Major League Draft and into professional baseball. What will your fight inspire in your child?
