    Strahan remembers that when he was younger, his brothers would make fun of him because he wasn’t working out and he was eating too much. However, through his perseverance and his desire to get stronger, he “bought the Jane Fonda workout tapes” to help him start working out and he “loved it” (“Freedom Tales,” Season 5 Episode 5, 3:34-3:41). His passion for football led him to the NFL, but even when he joined, he was still learning the game because of his “unusual background” (“Freedom Tales,” Season 5 Episode 5, 5:13-5:14). Being a hybrid, Strahan became one of the most successful athletes, holding the record for the number of sacks in one season, and has had an accomplished career as a talk-show host.
