“Packs a powerful message\u2014perseverance and passion pay off.\u00a0Even non-sports fans will cheer for superstars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry.\u201d–Scholastic Teacher<\/p>\n

Team USA goalkeeper Tim Howard was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome in 6th grade. He went on to become a national treasure after single-handedly keeping America competitive in the 2014 World Cup. Stephen Curry was told he was too small, too weak, and too slow to even receive a scholarship to play college basketball. He outworked everyone and went on to become MVP of the National Basketball Association. Jim Abbott was born without his right hand, yet he refused to be defined by what he lacked. He went on to pitch a no-hitter in the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n

Athlete after athlete in this book found discipline, hope, and inspiration on the playing field, rising above their circumstances. Filled with first-hand accounts from stars who exemplify the idea of enduring at all costs,\u00a0Rising Above\u00a0will serve as a must-read source of inspiration for kids and sports fans of all ages.<\/p>\n
