Frank Gore, born May 14, 1983, is a former NFL running back celebrated for his perseverance both on and off the field. Diagnosed with dyslexia as a child, he struggled academically and was initially on track for a special-education diploma—likely barring him from college sports. With the help of dedicated teachers and tutors, Gore worked tirelessly to improve his reading and test scores, eventually earning a standard diploma and scholarship to the University of Miami.
His determination in overcoming dyslexia paralleled his gritty playing style, leading to a remarkable 16-season NFL career, over 16,000 rushing yards, multiple Pro Bowls, and a reputation as one of the toughest and most respected backs in league history.
