An excerpt from the book:
Many people recognize Drew Christopher Brees as the successful quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. He has a great career, beautiful family, several lucrative endorsement deals, and a Super Bowl championship ring. He has it made.
Or does he?
A lot of individuals do not realize that Brees has had to go through all sorts of adversity – injuries, his parents’ divorce, and his mother’s suicide, among other things – to get where he is today. He relied on his faith and persistence to reach new heights.
Just like you and me, Brees has had to deal with doubts. His childhood dream was to be a professional baseball player. Along the way, he changed course and decided to pursue a football career instead. It was not going to be an easy path, either. He suffered an injury in high school which made him think that his gridiron dream was in jeopardy. What made him stay the course? Why did he persevere through it all? Brees’ life has had several interesting twists and turns. For instance, he thought he would spend his entire career with the San Diego Chargers, the team that drafted him 32nd overall in 2001. Alas, an unfortunate incident led him to sign with the New Orleans Saints instead. Brees’ career was not always rosy. Even if he helped the Saints win the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the 2009 NFL season, he also endured many losing campaigns. He may be a superstar athlete, but he has had ups and downs just like everyone else.
This book hopes to encourage aspiring athletes and regular people alike. I hope Drew Brees’ story will inspire you to be the best person you can become, regardless of what life throws your way.
