Inspired: Healing Journeys from Hockey and Beyond

More about the book

Nine athletes. Nine inspiring stories of adversity overcome. People in sports are in it to win it. That means fighting for success on their playing field of choice-but it also sometimes means overcoming challenges in their own lives. The nine people interviewed in Inspired share their personal stories of hardship, ranging from cancer and addiction to racial discrimination, sexism, and family suicide. But they also share how they overcame those dark times, and how they got to the successful places they are today. Inspired is an upbeat, entertaining, and informative collection of true stories that shows that just because a person is successful doesn't mean the road was easy. Their journeys show us all just how far we can go when we have determination and the will to succeed.
