About the Author

Cedric Nettles is a native of Darlington, SC where he had dreams of becoming an ESPN sports anchor. Cedric never was able to play organized sports because of his asthma condition he endured from his infancy until he was 17 years old.By covering sports he could still enjoy the game as the passionate story teller he strives to be even if he was not destined to be able to tell his own stories as a former player. His career path took a different turn as he went from a young man that never ran a single mile in his life to an physically fit communications soldier in the United States Army He never dreamed that he would later find himself recruited to the most elite unit in the 10th Mountain Division. He later graduated from Airborne school and did parachutist duty for that unit. That experience had a profound impact on his life and changed a very shy and sheltered personality into the assertive presence he is today. He has encountered rejection, bullying, verbal abuse, that can really damage the psyche of anyone. Yet through a greater grace he overcame that. Cedric understands that becoming more confident in himself through his own trials and struggles means little if he does not reach his hand back to help others examine who they really are. For he feels there is no greater tragedy for a person to not know what they are really capable of because of the diseased seeds of doubts that were planted so deeply within them. He seeks to empower all he touches through his hard hitting storyline to become bigger believers in themselves and to strive for greatness as he still continues to preserver to higher ground. And again reach his hand back to help someone else up. He’s worked in television behind the scenes, saw himself on the big screen as an actor for an independent film, as well as shot commercials. He’s done freelance writing for sports forums. He also written and produced a documentary about his high school which was the first predominately black school to be accredited by the South Carolina State Department of Education .
