Though quite at home on a basketball court, the seemingly invincible Alonzo Mourning has faced hs share of challenges off the court. As this episode chromicles, Mourning's success has certainly come at a price. Despite the fame and fortune he's achieved, Mourning's journey has neither been easy nor without pain. Born in Chesapeake, Virgina in 1970, Mourning quickly outgrew both his clothes and his classmates, often making him the object of ridicule. An unhappy child, Mourning saw his parents divorce when he was 11. As a result, his first court battle took place not on a basketball court, but in custody court. The judge gave Alonzo the option of living with either one of his parents, but Mourning shocked everyone by opting to be placed in the state's foster care system instead. After bouncing around the system, mainly at various boys' homes to his dismay, Mourning eventually ended up at the home of Fannie Threet. Threet was known around Chesapeake as the Queen Mother. Mourning was just

Gary Sheffield grew up in the Belmont Heights projects in Tampa, Florida. It was a tough, neglected neighborhood where violence was common and opportunities were scarce. Though it was apparent that Sheffield was capable of being a special kind of ballplayer, his infamous temper was becoming a threat to others as well as himself. It was his grandfather Dan Gooden who instilled in Gary a love for the game of baseball, and it was his uncle Dwight Gooden who taught Sheffield how to play the game.

National Football League Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was a free spirit who made his own rules and broke the rest. But, after years of living on the edge, Taylor fell over — brought down by cocaine and alcohol. His troubles were fodder for a hungry media, and as TV cameras rolled, the man known as L.T. hit rock bottom. His reckless, aggressive style literally transformed not only the linebacker position, but also the way defense in general is played. But to many, Taylor's off-the-field notoriety overshadowed his gridiron accomplishments and brought disgrace to his legend and the game at which he excelled. This Sunday's episode of Beyond the Glory traces the steps that Taylor took in his life and how his activities on and off the field affected those around him. From his upbringing in Williamsburg, Virginia, his college career at the University of North Carolina, his 13-year NFL career that included an MVP season capped off with a Super Bowl victory, to his current life in retirement

As a child growing up in Hickory, N.C., Jarrett found success in everything he tried. Crediting the leadership role he saw in his dad, Jarrett excelled in all sports including baseball, football, golf and basketball.

During his senior year in high school, Jarrett learned his longtime girlfriend Kim was pregnant. They married and Kim gave birth three months premature. This was the first of many tough decisions Jarrett would have to make over the years. He declined a scholarship to play golf at Unive

But, that's precisely what makes this profile of Bryant compelling — his age, the problems it created with teammates and coaches as well as Byrant's willingness, despite being a high profile public figure, to guard his private life. Bryant's childhood was far from that of the average kid. Growing up the son of a NBA player, Bryant spent the first six years of his life in Philadelphia. But, when his father, Joe ""Jelly Bean"" Bryant signed a deal to play in the Italian League, Kobe and the family moved to Italy. This was the first time in his life that he had to adapt to a different environment, but it wouldn't be the last.
