Drew Brees is a future Hall of Famer quarterback, who went through ups and downs during his career. The former second round pick coming out of Purdue University had a rough start for the San Diego Chargers. His best season was in 2004, but in 2005 he suffered a career ending injury. During Hurricane Katrina, Brees was fighting for his life to become 100 percent again. After he was released from the Chargers, he found a new home in New Orleans. Brees lead the Saints through harsh disasters and rough times. Brees is New Orleans superman and hope. Brees started foundations and did community service. In 2009, Brees led his team to the promise land for the first time. Brees is more than a football player in his community.What I liked about this book is the adversity Brees went through all of his life. Brees used to be teased because of his birthmark on his face. Brees told his self his was one of kind. Brees went through adversity during high school when he tore his ACL. The next year while recovering he won the state championship for his high school. During his NFL career, Brees came back after a career ending injury. The part I liked about the book, was the season when his mother died. It sounds weird but I thought about my mom and Brees made a promise forhis mom after she died. The promise was to win the superbowl in 2009. In 2009, they won the superbowl and gave the city hope.I recommend this book for everyone who is going through ups and downs in their life. This book will make everyone who reads think about success. This book should also be given to student-athletes and athletes going through or coming off injuries. This book will give every reader hope to strive for greatness. The book "Coming Back Stronger" is a autobiography about how through two devastating events in the New Orleans Saints quarterbacks life, he managed to "come back" and recover from his injuries as well as the emotional impact that hurricane Katrina hit him and his city with. After a shoulder injury that could have been career ending left him with no spot in the NFL, Drew Brees managed to learn how the throw a football again and make a miraculous recovery. This story was heartwarming and heart wrenching at times, but of course, like any great story, had a remarkable ending. Mostly, this story was seen as a flashback where Brees is analyzing and explaining his entire life and everything that happened, from his injured shoulder, to the loss of his home and his football stadium all the way to his personal victory of getting back in the game and coming back stronger than ever.
