The Soccer Diaries

Travel through the life of an inner-city youth turned small-time gangster, suicide survivor, bipolar alcoholic/addict who survived the mean streets of Kensington, the Philadelphia section made famous by the Rocky movies. This real-life Rocky story shows the "roller-coaster ride" life of George McDermott as he squandered a pro soccer career twice before dealing with the demons of his addictions as well as the haunting memories of his mother's suicide. After returning from New York with a contract on his head as a result of working for a stock-and-commodities company tied to the wolf of Wall Street, he finally faced life clean and sober as he must confront not only the wreckage of the past, but also the criminal element, which was once his life. Follow this frantic tale as this decorated military vet overcame those hell-bent on his destruction to finally serve his true purpose-helping others daily through his youth program, Success in the Streets and the World of Recovering Addicts.
