內容簡介

In his debut book, Fendi Onobun proves that it's never too late to find a new dream. Like many, Onobun was once just a kid shooting hoops in his backyard, who dreamt of playing for a much larger audience. Onobun knew that raw talent wasn't enough to play in the NBA, so he dedicated his life to training for the day he might play pro-ball. After playing power forward for the legendary Coach Lute Olson at the University of Arizona, a change in coaching staff left Onobun's chances of having a professional basketball career up in the air.

With his childhood dream of making it to the NBA in question, friends proposed the idea of trying a new sport: football--a sport he only played once in middle school Onobun found himself at a crossroads. In a grueling year where he trained simultaneously to play basketball and learn football, he eventually transformed himself from a power forward to a tight end with NFL potential.

Beset with injuries and troubles with his childhood, faith, and trust, he persevered. It was a tough road--for many, it would have been an impossible road--but Onobun's work ethic and determination to do the right thing ended in victory. In this fascinating and unique story, Onobun shares how he got to the top in sports, the hardships he faced, and what it takes to play in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. A story of grit, hard work, faith, and courage, Onobun's fast-paced tale of life on and off the court (and field) will leave you ready to tackle your dream--no matter how elusive it may seem.

 

作者簡介

Houston native and former NFL tight end, FENDI ONOBUN, grew up playing basketball and was touted as one of the nation’s best players coming out of high school. He went on to graduate from The University of Arizona where he lettered in basketball. His transition to football was coupled with his academic development as he went on to further his education at The University of Houston as a member of the football team. The former basketball player walked-on the football team and remarkably became the 1st pick of the 6th round in the 2010 NFL Draft.

After spending 5 years in the NFL, Fendi moved back to his hometown of Houston, Texas, where he currently resides with his wife Stephanie. Together, the two of them advocate for change in the health and fitness sector of their community.

Fendi’s experiences have shaped his desire to inspire and impart knowledge to the youth. In his first book, Transition: One Kid’s Bank Shot to the NFL, Fendi shares his life story in the hopes that the next generation will realize their potential in the face of adversity. His goal is to inspire the "next man up" to keep faith even when things do not go according to plan--that the impossible can become possible when you believe.
