Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond

Way to Short A Read

OK, we're UVA fans, but who can't appreciate a young man whose Mother taught them such values that they have held onto them even with their fame and fortune. Tiki and Rhonde have both made us as Virginians proud. I sent the book to New York and asked if he would autograph it for my UVA grad husband and he did. Along with sending me a personal note as well. One outstanding athlete and person in my book. I wish the book was a little longer though.

Review

Tiki has had an interesting life, just from reading My Life and the Game Beyond. It¿s intriguing to read about his childhood, and what happened in his early career in college and in the NFL. Tiki was born and raised in Virginia, with only the care from his mother, as his father left the family when Tiki was at a young age. His brother Ronde, would be his best friend in his life, as they are twins. The Barber family wasn¿t the most financially stable family, because their mother would be working either two or three jobs. They took this as a life lesson to work hard, so that they would be able to achieve a bright future. After high school both would take a scholarship to the University of Virginia, and both would have a successful football career there. Both twins decided to turn pro, but for the first time in their life they would be separated, as Tiki would play for the New York Giants and Ronde would play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After an attempt to win his first superbowl ring in 2000, Tiki would never be able to win the ¿big one¿. After ten years of playing pro football, Tiki decides to retire even though when some may say he was at the top of his game. My Life and the Game Beyond is a great book to read if you are a Giants fan or a UVA fan.

Great little book

Tiki give us everything, from growing up with his twin brother, his playing career, and his current job, which is a broadcaster. Very interesting, but very short.
