Title: Believe It Pdf My Journey of Success, Failure, and Overcoming the Odds

New York Times best seller

Get ready to defy the odds when everyone's counting you out. 

When the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback went down with a torn ACL in week 14 of the 2017 NFL season, many fans - and commentators - assumed the Eagles' season was over.

Instead, Nick Foles came off the bench and, against all odds, led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory in history. How did Nick get it done - winning MVP honors, silencing the critics, and shocking the world? How did the man who was on the verge of retiring just two seasons earlier stay optimistic and rally the team to an astounding win? How did he stay ready despite numerous trades and discouraging injuries, able to step up in the moment and perform at the top of his game?

Believe It offers a behind-the-scenes look at Nick's unlikely path to the Super Bowl, the obstacles that threatened to hold him back, his rediscovery of his love for the game, and the faith that grounded him through it all. Learn from the way Nick handled the trials and tribulations that made him into the man he is today - and discover a path to your own success.

INSPIRATIONAL! Quick read for NFL fans-especially Eagle fans! Fly Nick, Fly! Rocky would be proud! This is an inspirational, quick read / "can't put down" book for NFL fans in general, and even more so for all of the dedicated, UNDERDOG Eagle fans out there! Nick Foles shows his fortitude while also sharing his down times when so many people doubted his ability to play successfully in the NFL. Through years of "back-up" status and heart breaking trades, Foles never gives up on his dream. In what could easily be a fictional tale, Nick is suddenly faced with the ultimate opportunity to prove to the world, and himself, that he DOES have what it takes to be a CHAMPION when the Philadelphia Eagle's lose their first-string Quarterback, the likely League MVP - Carson Wentz, to a devastating and season-ending injury. The Eagles had been on a completely unexpected, miraculous march to the playoffs at the time. Despite ultimate underdog status, the entire team, with Nick in the hot-seat position of starting Quarterback, goes on to a storybook ending, affirming the belief of diehard Eagle fans and quieting so many doubters across the NFL world.The fact that this story unfolded in the city that brought us Rocky Balboa is just icing on the cake!Honest and Humble Nick Foles shows what an honest humble person he is. Tom Brady could learn a lot from how Nick sees the world and those around him. Based off of the Super Bowl result, Brady could learn some football from him too.Great Book Extraordinary man and extraordinary story about an event that captured peoples hearts. Especially in the Philadelphia area. Being a die hard Eagles fan there is very little that is going to top the 2017 season and what took place. I'm not a big reader of sports books although several over the years have captured me, "A Good Walk Spoiled", comes to mind. Another aspect of Nicks story that struck me is his faith in God and the way he dealt with the world of professional football. I read the book cover to cover in a day. I simply could not put it down. It's not a literary work of art but it's a good story told by a man who seems to have a balance in life that is inspiring. If your a football fan then the insider views of the 2017 season will be of great interest. If your a Christian then Gods hand is more then obvious in the events that took place. Highly recommended
