  • My Breaking Point

    http://deuntawilliams.com      We all have a breaking point; this is a place where pressure has boiled to the edge of losing our composure. Adversity seems to strike when you are least expecting it and when it hits the true testament of your character is shown. For me it came on Dec. 29th, 2010. I was the #1 free safety in college football on my way to living my childhood dream of playing in the NFL, until I broke my leg. After three surgeries and 2 procedures I was declared medically unable to return to football. Instead of being defeated, I channeled the resilience that got me to that point and realized my life was bigger than football. I tell a conversational story about my life; everything from how growing up in poverty created an insatiable thirst to excel to my exploits in sports and business. This book will empower athletes and non athletes alike with a gift of knowledge that will motivate readers to begin their journey of resilience.

An effective giving experience is one of the best ways to multiply our happiness. Reviews “Information comes fast without a lot of filler and is accompanied by illustrations.
