It's not often you see true vulnerability in a man - especially an NFL linebacker. Sam Acho is not your typical NFL player, though. Acho had everything society glorified - money, fame and success. But he wasn't truly happy. He wasn't himself. Quite literally. During his playing days, Acho hid behind a mask of what he thought he was supposed to be as an NFL player. Frankly, he had an identity crisis. Once Sam realized he was an emotional guy - his true self was revealed and his teammates began to see the real him. Today, Sam is the author of Let the World See You: How to Be Real in a World Full of Fakes. The book empowers people to take off their mask and be the person God made them to be.
