As a coach for 30 years, the start of each new season was filled with excitement, hope for success, and an opportunity to help prepare young athletes for their sport and life. In anticipation for the 2008 football season, I was tearing down a press box on our football field so a new one could be built. It was just like any other day, until it wasn’t. A 16 foot fall off a ladder and an encounter with a chain linked fence below was the beginning of a new life for me. The doctors didn’t give me much hope to live, but the Lord had different plans for me. He gave me a second chance at life. My family kept a journal during the months that followed the accident, which I share with you throughout this book. It is filled with every possible emotion, and ultimately faith in God is what helped us all to survive.
