It was on December 30th, 1984 where a young Lebron James was born in the city of Akron, Ohio. He was the only child of Gloria James and Anthony McClelland.
Growing up, James' life had a very rough start. In the absence of his father in his life, he was raised solely by his mother, who struggled to consistently fend for him. Because of the struggles, James had witnessed the worst of his hometown and initially did not want to go to school.
When James was only 5 years old, he and his mother had already moved several times in the course of one year. James was absent during Elementary more often than not, mainly because of moving too frequently. The struggle was without rest, and it seemed like James would not find a place to live for a while, or know what to do in his youth years.
But then came his 4th grade year, and it was a year full of miracles for young James. Fortunately for him, he had been at the right place, at the right time in his neighborhood. There, he was playing with the neighbouring kids, when he was approached by a football coach who was scouting for 8 or 9 year-old players. The coach asked James and the kids if they were interested to play for his team, to which Lebron said he would like to join.
The coach asked them to race and when they did, it became clear who the coach wanted. James' speed was imposing and he had outran the other kids by several yards. Before James even knew it, he had genuinly impressed the coach and had earned his attention. But most importantly, his support since an adult figure like a coach is what he needed.
Over the course of the year, James had engaged in the football season with his coach's team and it seemed as though he had finally found an interest; sports. With the support of his coach, James kept getting better in football and in sports in general. Overtime, he had kept getting more competitive, while all the more grateful. It was quite clear James was the most compettive, and skilled player on the football team.
