BOOK Overview

In “Naked and Alone with 80,000 People,” I invite you to embark on a transformative journey through the highs and lows of my life, not for applause but to demonstrate that if I can overcome challenges, so can you. This book serves as a guide to self-improvement, urging you to embrace your challenges and commit to discovering a daily sense of purpose that propels you to new heights. My story revolves around the thousand rejections I faced while pursuing my dream of becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL History. It’s a narrative of turning setbacks into a love affair with the work required to become a transcendent champion.

As you read about my journey, you’ll witness the fear of public humiliation in the face of thousands, the same fear that lurks in various forms in our everyday lives. Confronting this fear became a stepping stone not only toward my dream but also toward self-discovery. The journey to success, as I reveal, isn’t about becoming a new person; it’s about rediscovering and embracing the authentic “you” that has always been there. The real secret lies in recognizing that each step toward your dream is a step closer to finding yourself.

I share moments of despair and triumph, highlighting the patterns that emerge each time we face the prospect of failure. Drawing insights from my encounters with legendary figures like Joe Montana and Coach Marv Levy, I emphasize the significance of perfect practice in building confidence. The book challenges the notion that external forces dictate our potential, asserting that only we can truly know and unleash our capabilities.

Designed to affirm the beautiful, unpredictable dance of life within your control, this book empowers you to harness and exploit your unique talents and gifts. Whether you’re a football player, dancer, lawyer, writer, teacher, or any other professional, you hold the power to discover, master, and perfect your God-given talents. Your journey, like that of Odysseus, is a voyage of self-discovery, and this book encourages you to seize the moment, initiating a spiritual rodeo ride to a life of feeling fully alive with every breath.
