My name is Doran Grant, I've played the game of football since the age of 7. I was always good at it and it essentially became my identity as the years went on. From being one of the better Pop Warner players in the state, to eventually becoming the #1 Cornerback in the Nation and All American as a High School Senior. I’m a graduate and former Ohio State University Football player, All conference player, and Captain of 2015 C.F.P. National Champion. I played a few seasons in the NFL with being drafted to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2015. I then was released and signed to a couple more teams in the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears. After my time in the NFL, I joined a couple expansion leagues (AAF/XFL) before hanging up the cleats right before the Pandemic shut down in March of 2020. Come to find out It wasn’t a transition I was ready for, which lead me to being highly uncomfortable and depressed, after putting down something I’ve been doing for majority of my life from a kid to an Adult. With the shut down and losing a part of life that was essentially my identity, this feeling of depression and low self worth,  literally was killing me....well so I thought. So to combat this feeling I had to release , and release I did! Positive Expression, mindfulness, and meditation really saved my life. Along with expressing through Conversation, Social media post, and most importantly giving back to those who share the same passion as me with the game of football. This ebook gave me something to focus on during those long days trapped inside. Day by Day I felt more and more able, and more and more at peace. Life isn't so bad after all, especially when you realize that you have access to it! Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude!
