  1. Barry Sanders grew up in Wichita,
  2. Kansas, as one of 11 children. His
  3. father owned a roofing company,
  4. and when Barry was growing up, he
  5. spent his summer months working
  6. in his fatherΓÇÖs business. One of
  7. BarryΓÇÖs jobs was to climb ladders
  8. and haul hundreds of pounds of
  9. asphalt strapped to his back. ThatΓÇÖs
  10. hard work! Maybe thatΓÇÖs why today
  11. Barry can carry linebackers on his
  12. back as he runs for touchdowns!
