After spending the 2007 season out of football, Kacyvenski officially announced his retirement in 2008. ==Early years== Isaiah Kacyvenski was the youngest of five children in upstate Endicott, New York. He grew up with his parents; his mother and his alcoholic and sometimes abusive father until their divorce when he was nine. When he was thirteen, his mother left to do missionary work, leaving the care of him and his siblings back with their father.〔 Kacyvenski attended Union-Endicott High School where he was an honors student and served as captain of the football team.〔 His ultimate goal was to earn a football scholarship to University of Notre Dame to play with the Fighting Irish.〔 His mother was killed by a truck as she walked along the road on the same day of Kacyvenski's biggest high school football game in his senior season. Upon hearing of his mother's death, he fell "to his knees crying." He ended up playing in the game that night, calling it one of the best games of his life. He received a phone call at the end of his senior year from Harvard Crimson football coach Tim Murphy offering him an academic scholarship.〔 While Kacyvenski was reluctant to go to for fear of not fitting in, his coach convinced him that he would never regret going to Harvard.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isaiah Kacyvenski」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
