Here’s the True Story Behind ‘The Blind Side’

High School for Michael Wasn’t Simple

The teachers at Wingate Christian School in the film were reluctant to admit Michael due to his unsatisfactory academic record. Yet, he succeeded in changing their minds with his welcoming attitude. Besides, his coach also persuaded the authorities for the young fellow’s admission by delivering an emotive and convincing speech.

In reality, though, enrolling in the school wasn’t easy for Michael as he had to pass a challenging academic course. For this, the soccer star often studied with a tutor until late at night. The Tuohys assigned him instruction from Miss Sue, and he put forth so much effort that by senior year, Michael ranked among the top students.
