Michael Vick Makes List of Nominees for 2008 StreetSmart Comeback of the
Year Awards
Voters are invited to nominate candidates for the StreetSmart Comeback Player of the
Year Awards. Categories include sports, entertainment, as well as real life. The “Pull-It-
Forward” section invites voters to predict and even inspire future comebacks.
Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Voters are invited to nominate
candidates for the StreetSmart Comeback Player of the Year Awards.
Categories include sports, entertainment, as well as real life. The “Pull-It-Forward”
section invites voters to predict and even inspire future comebacks. Will Michael Vick be
able to climb out of the abyss and achieve his incredible potential? Can we collectively
transmit the positive signals necessary to pull Britney Spears out of her tailspin? Is there
still hope for Whitney Houston to return to prominence? This will test popular theories on
the power of positive thinking. The site will track the progress of potential future
comebacks and provide periodic updates.
The website www.StreetSmartDirect.com contains excerpts and backstories from
inspiring comebacks. Some examples:
Entertainment
• Jim Carrey living in a van, writing a check to himself for $10 million when he was
broke.
• Drew Barrymore surviving child stardom to become a bankable star.
• Marshall Mathers rapping his way out of the trailer park to become a megastar.
Sports
• Jennifer Capriati at 13, the youngest player to reach the finals of a grand slam
event, winning an Olympic Gold Medal, before getting arrested for drug possession. She
pulled it together and ended up winning 14 major championships.
Business
• Where is the next Steve Jobs? At 19 he started Apple and shocked the computer
industry. After going public and then getting ousted by the Board of Directors, he came
back to turn the music industry on its earphones with the iPod.
B.Y.O. – Site visitors are invited to “Bring Your Own” personal comeback story – or
someone they may know who has overcome adversity.
Nominations are solicited from the general public and voters do NOT have to be members
of the Academy of Motion Pictures or Baseball Writers Association. Vote online at
streetsmartdirect.com/comebacks by December 31. Voters are eligible to win an Apple
iTouch.
While all content on StreetSmartDirect is free, the company donates 10% of proceeds
from the purchase of any products, books, movies, music from sponsors to First Book, a
charity that provides books to underprivileged children.
About StreetSmart
StreetSmartDirect.com is compiling a comprehensive collection of backstories for all of us
who inevitably experience adversity. The intent is to gather insight on how individuals from
all walks of life used adversity as a driving force to strengthen their resolve. The stories
identify obstacles they overcame growing up, who influenced or inspired them, what books
they read, in general what makes them tick.
The site provides a resource for young people of all ages to recognize that everyone faces
adversity and it's important to not get discouraged. It has been proven countless times
that success has little to do with physical or intellectual gifts if one has the determination,
perseverance and streetsmarts. In contrast, the road to success is littered with
underachievers who squandered their potential.
In addition to well-known figures from the past, the site contains modern-day stories that
will resonate with younger generations. It may be hard for some of us to translate how to
apply the determination of an Abe Lincoln teaching himself to become a lawyer then freeing
the slaves, or someone turning a snake into a scepter.
StreetSmartDirect provides an online resource and links to help users gain the
streetsmarts needed to carve out their own path toward success. The site is not about
peddling products from a particular source, but is aligned with several major brands of
manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors to offer the most competitive prices for
books, audio downloads, movies, music…virtually any product or service that is information-
driven, knowledge or digitally based.
The StreetSmartDirect shopping experience is totally customer-driven. Users are able to
navigate and select from a vast array of major players and discount sources within this
virtual online mall. The site contains a price-comparison engine to help ensure the most
competitive prices. Visit www.StreetSmartDirect.com for more information.
