The oldest contributing member of a college football team in NCAA history shares his remarkable life story, from his tough upbringing by a violent father, to his return to college football at the age of fifty-nine, encouraging others to stay physically and mentally fit and to allow God to open up new possibilities long forgotten.

It's Never Too Late to Tackle Your Dreams!

Mike Flynt was swapping stories with some old football buddies whenhe brought up the biggest regret of his life: getting kicked off thecollege team before his senior year. So, one of his pals said, "Why notdo something about it?" Most 59-year-olds would have laughed. Flynt'sonly concern was his eligibility. He not only returned to collegefootball, but actually made the team at his alma mater - Sul RossState, an NCAA division III school.

His remarkable story begins with a tough upbringing by aviolent father who trained him to fight at every opportunity. Hisfighting habit took him in and out of jail several times, until a faithconversion turned his life around on the very day he was contemplatingsuicide.

Mike Flynt has much to offer others, not only through hisstory, but through his belief that it's never too late for God to healyour heart and fulfill your dreams.
