Coming Back Stronger

Drew’s story is very inspiring, and it’s a fantastic read from start to finish. A must read for football fans.

JK i didn't read the book.

I read the book because I'm a Drew Brees fan--although I miss him as a Chargers quarterback I appreciate him as a Saints quarterback. The Super Bowl MVP doesn't try to sway you to become a Saints fan either--he captivates his audience by inspiring others to face adversity as an opportunity and 'finish strong' in everything you do. Brees talks about his career threatening shoulder injury (basically his shoulder was shredded--a QB's worst nightmare) and the process it took to overcome it. He gives insight about the devastating impact Hurricane Katrina had on the City of New Orleans--more than 80% of the city was underwater and almost two-thirds of the population were homeless and displaced, including the Saints. You don't have to be a football fanatic to enjoy the book and the story doesn't revolve around football stats either. Essentially, it's an inspiring story about an injured quarterbacks unknown future, a devastated city, and an uprooted team that turned adversity into success and despair into hope. Side Note: The book gives good insight on leadership skills. Brees is a good example of visualizing success and encourages refraining from negativity. He doesn't sugar coat his Christian core values--he's a praying man, a family man, a positive role model and mentor, a team player, and more. “Remember who you are. God created each one of us for a purpose." (iBook - 1055 excerpt)

I love Drew Bree's he's #1

I'm a Saints fan, and watching Drew Bree's throw a football Takes my breath away..but his book touched me on so many level's in my life. I too, lost my mother to suicide and was shocked to have this shared experience.. I found this book so up lifting and I get up wanting to finish strong! Thank you and your wife for sharing yourselves with us. And Geaux Saints!

If you like books by narcissists who present a phony image of themselves then this book is for you. If you care about authenticity in a memoir, do what Brees does best -- pass.

I enjoyed the book. I especially enjoyed reading about an athlete that was not on steroids or abusive to loved ones. Impressed he willing spoke of God. I hope young people will view him as a role model. He also did not detail events with his mother to preserve her honor. Genuinely refreshing and thought providing on many levels. I know I am trying to think positive and not let negative thinking rule my path. Thanks, Drew. Great read.

Awesome book, Inspiring!

It is terrible I don't understand half of the stuff it is about just take it down from the top charts.
