I want to let you know about my newest book, Bouncing Back: How to Recover When Life Knocks You Down (published by Morgan James.) Bouncing Back provides inspirational stories from worldclass athletes and simple proven methods to help individuals survive, recover, and prosper during life’s most challenging circumstances. This information is priceless both on and off the course.

I interviewed a variety of world-class athletes who have faced overwhelming and life-threatening circumstances and have emerged whole, intact, and victorious. Their inspirational stories provide the insight and direction for overcoming personal disasters and achieving great success in all aspects of life, both on and off the field. These great athletes, such as football legend Jim Brown, boxing champions Jose Torres and Diego “Chico” Corrales, Olympic Gold Medalist and creator of the Fosbury flop in high jump Dick Fosbury, Baseball greats Doug DeCinces and Buck Rogers, and Women’s World Long Drive Champion Lee Brandon, reveal personal insights and key principles that kept them engaged and perservering during their most difficult life tests. Doug DeCinces replaced third base legend Brooks Robinson. Doug was twenty-four years old and had thirty thousand people booing him because he was not Brooks Robinson. His story is chilling and riveting.

Lee Brandon, the RE/MAX Women’s World Long Drive Champion, who had her arm surgically reattached after it was amputated in an accident when she was a teenager and died on the operating table, had a profound death experience that brought her back to life and set her on a course of recovery, service and success. It took her seven years to rehab her arm and regain function. Her story provides both the psychological guidance and spiritual inspiration to find meaning, hope, purpose and direction when life gets really tough. She shares her amazing story regarding how she recovered and those who were most helpful in that process.
