==Early life==
Leonard, born in Woodbridge, Virginia,〔(Meyers Leonard NBA & ABA Stats )〕 grew up in Robinson, Illinois, a small town roughly at the boundary between central and southern Illinois. When he was six years old, his father James, a golf pro, was killed in a freak bicycle accident. His mother Tracie, once an athlete who would run upwards of 10 miles a day, had been largely housebound since her husband's death, victimized by an old horseback injury and subsequent disc surgery that left her with crippling pain.
When he was in second grade, the young Leonard gained a surrogate family. Brian Siler, an insurance agent in Robinson who had a son of the same age, was aware of Leonard's family situation, and eventually became a father figure. Leonard regularly attended the Silers' church and went on family vacations. According to ''ESPN.com'' writer Dana O'Neil,"Looking to shoehorn the relationship into a convenient box, outsiders have called this Meyers' version of ''The Blind Side'', but the comparison is inaccurate.
The book and subsequent movie tell the story of Michael Oher, a boy who was homeless and didn't have much of a family life. Meyers Leonard has a family. It has not abandoned him. On the contrary, Tracie loves her son, loves him so much that she was willing to accept help."〔
