UNSTOPPABLE
In his most dramatic and hard-hitting story yet, former NFL defensive end Tim Green writes about what it takes to be a winner, even when it seems like fate has dealt an impossible hand.
If anyone understands the phrase “tough luck,” it’s Harrison. As a foster kid in a cruel home, he knows his dream of one day playing for the NFL is a longshot. Then, Harrison’s luck seems to change. He is brought into a new home with kind, loving parents - his new dad is even a football coach. Harrison’s big build and his incredible determination quickly make him a star running back on the junior high school team. On the field, he is practically unstoppable. But Harrison’s good luck cannot last forever. After a small football injury causes more pain than it should, Harrison undergoes a series of tests. It is discovered that he has a cancerous tumor on his knee that must be removed. Harrison goes to sleep in the hospital, and when he wakes up, his leg from the knee down is gone.
At first, Harrison is devastated. But with the help of his father’s amputee friend from the military, and inspired by a fellow chemo patient at the hospital, Harrison rallies through a rigorous training program to prove himself unstoppable, not just as a player, but as a person. Tim played Little League baseball for many years before specializing in football in order to become an NFL player. After graduating as co-valedictorian from Syracuse University, being a first-round NFL draft pick, and playing as a star linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons, Tim also earned his law degree with honors and has worked as an NFL analyst for FOX Sports and an NFL commentator for National Public Radio. In addition to Football Genius, Football Hero, Football Champ, and Deep Zone, Tim is the author of the New York Times best-seller Baseball Great, to which Rivals and New York Times bestseller Best of the Best are companions. Pinch Hit, a baseball take on The Prince and the Pauper, is, like Unstoppable, a stand-alone novel.
