Bobby Kennedy remade himself
Frail, weak, shy and sensitive as a youth, Bobby Kennedy was a prime candidate for sissyhood, but he decided to remake himself. Even though he was smallish, and not a great athlete, he fought his way onto the Harvard football team, and through injuries, e.g. dislocated shoulder, fractured leg. His coaches were so impressed, he was awarded a varsity letter, something neither Joe nor Jack had achieved.
That tenacity would serve him well as Jack Kennedy's campaign manager, and then as attorney general.
