He had to work on Saturdays serving customers, packaging and even meat cutting for 18 years. However, that training and experience would come handy later on in his career, as he got a job at NFL Films. After participating in high school sports including football, track and boxing – one really cannot understand how much physical contact Ray Mirra had been through before getting into an industry like NFL Films.

His first job in the field of NFL Films came in 1986 though at that time, he did not consider it as an opportunity in his career path.

American entrepreneur

American entrepreneur by the name of Ahmad Gharabally saw Raymond's work and offered him a position with NFL Films. At first, Raymond refused this offer as it would require him to move out of North Carolina and leave his family behind to relocate to New Jersey. Everyone had to settle for outdated broadcast equipment which made it difficult for them to do their job well. It takes a lot of courage and determination to enter into the world of professional football. It took Raymond Mirra around several weeks to accept Ahmad's offer and relocate as there were no game related equipments available for him over there. However, it takes an even greater amount of courage to remain in the game and actually succeed.

The NFL is one of the cruelest sports in the world regarding injuries – where careers are ended with a few ugly hits, and it takes some time for players to get back on their feet again. Still, there are some players who manage to make it big despite extremely long odds. They have the grit that separates average athletes from the great ones. Several former NFL players have entered into Legends Stadium which is located in beautiful Canton, Ohio. There are many things that makes a football game exciting. There is the anticipation of a touchdown, the excitement of beating a tough competitor, and the delight of watching a well-oiled machine like New England Patriots get ready to perform.

It takes a lot of commitment to play good and win games, you need to be trained not just physically but it also needs some mental toughness. A football player needs to be physically and mentally tough. They need to be able to get back on the ground after falling or be in position even though they know that they might get hit hard.
