Inhaltsangabe

Growing up in the Midwest, Paul Kapsalis dreams of playing soccer at powerhouse Indiana University, winner of 8 national championships. But, he's got a problem: he's not good enough. Coaches tell him he never will be. What the doubters fail to consider is that inside this humble, upbeat kid is the heart of a lion. Told with a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, this is Paul's true story of his journey as a boy who only wants to play soccer. But, through disheartening challenges and uplifting relationships, he becomes someone he'd never expected, a leader of men. Along the way, Paul learns that perseverance, optimism, hard work, kindness toward others, and patience can lead to remarkable, transformative achievements – and a national championship. He also discovers a new definition of winning, one that has a great deal to do with generosity. It took 5 years, fighting through rejection and a career-threatening injury, but Paul got where he never expected to go. Here is a chance to see how he did it.
