About The Author
Brad Cousino was conceived out of wedlock to 15 & 16 year-old teenagers. To escape the traumatic physical abuse of growing up in a dysfunctional, alcoholic home, he worked cleaning out putrid sewers of rotting sludge to pay for 1 quarter of college. Despite overwhelming odds, Brad became a football All American and defensive M.V.P. in the Mid American Conference two years in a row. Even so, he didn't get drafted, but played with the Cincinnati Bengals, NY Giants and the then 2X Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
As a keynote speaker, life coach, mentor and published author, Brad has captivated thousands of people with his compelling true life-story as depicted in his memoir. Brad passionately believes in these 6 priorities: 1] LOVE GOD 2] LOVE YOUR FAMILY 3] LOVE OTHERS 4] ALWAYS GIVE YOUR VERY BEST 5] BE A DIFFERENCE MAKER, and 6] FINISH STRONG by FINISHING WELL.
Brad is married to Tami for 45+ years, is DAD to 4 superb adult children & PAPA to 11 superstar grand children.
His traumatic past comes back to haunt him, as a savage "winner-take-all" spiritual battle rages for the young man's heart, life and future family.
I loved this story. Just when I thought it was time to give up, Brad continued on, he persevered, and he made it. He didn't settle; he took a chance, and what he had hoped for happened—not because of wishful thinking but because he did the next right thing. His story of faith brought me to tears.
absolutely loved highly recommended great book for everyone to read about perseverance and not quitting great book especially for young men.
This is an amazing story about how an unwanted child overcame all sorts of obstacles in childhood and then in adulthood and had to face his own obstacles to decide how he wanted to live his life. While reading, I was asking myself would I have been as courageous? There are many life lessons here!
I am not an avid reader, but couldn't put this book down! So inspiring and encouraging. Wow wow wow!
Brad Cousino shares an authentic and courageous account of overcoming adversity. This book offers hope and practical wisdom for anyone facing life's challenges.
