Resumen del Editor
Standing a stellar five feet, seven inches and weighing in at a magnificent 150 pounds, you wouldn't think Richie would be much of a football player. Instead he looks more like a chess player.
Richie Contartesi is a small-town kid who dreamt his entire life of playing big-time college football in the SEC. He had the heart, passion, tenacity, and love for the game, but there was a nagging problem that haunted him from youth football through college: his size. He was never the biggest, fastest, most talented, or strongest wide receiver on the team.
Richie's journey chronicles the trials and tribulations of a boy with a dream and the realities of Division I college football at Ole Miss - an inspirational story of hope, determination, and success that will fuel your inner desire to be the best you can be and defy the naysayers and odds to reach your dreams. What happens next shocks the world and will most definitely shock you, too.

Historia
By 2002, The Streak - a historic 13-year run of consecutive wins by the Spartans, a high-school football team from Concord, California, that couldn't be beat - was still going strong. In this revised edition of When the Game Stands Tall, author Neil Hayes, who had unrestricted access to the De La Salle team, writes from the inside about the games, the players, and their visionary coach, Bob Ladouceur, who managed to amass the highest winning percentage in football history (.995) through standing for something greater than winning.

Historia
Tony Dungy's words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African-American coach. How is it possible for a coach—especially a football coach—to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family?

As the head coach of the University of Alabama's football team, Nick Saban is perhaps the most influential - and controversial - man in the sport. Unpredictable in his professional loyalties, uncompromising in his vision, and unyielding in his pursuit of perfection, the highest-paid coach in college football has changed the face of the game.

When Kevin Garnett shocked the world by announcing that he would not be attending college - as young basketball prodigies were expected to do - but instead would enter the 1995 NBA draft directly from high school, he blazed a trail for a generation of teenage basketball players to head straight for the pros. That trend would continue until the NBA instituted an age limit in 2005, requiring all players to attend college or another developmental program for at least one year.

From the moment these two players took the court on opposing sides, they engaged in a fierce physical and psychological battle. Their uncommonly competitive relationship came to symbolize the most compelling rivalry in the NBA. These were the basketball epics of the 1980s - Celtics vs Lakers, East vs West, physical vs finesse, Old School vs Showtime, even white vs black. Each pushed the other to greatness - together Bird and Johnson collected eight NBA Championships and six MVP awards.

A man of deep passion and intensity, George Karl earned his bad boy reputation while playing at the University of North Carolina, a rap that continued through the five years he spent with the San Antonio Spurs - and long after he stopped playing. Karl's beery nights, fistfights, and barking followed him into a 35-year coaching career. In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times.

This book is a page turner!
Where does In Spite of the Odds rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In Spite of the Odds is a great book in so many ways. Richie overcomes obstacle after obstacle, showing his hard work ethic and positive attitude, while telling a heart felt story that has you wanting more.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Richie is my favorite character because of his 'must win' attitude. He just never stops!!!
What does Richie Contartesi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Richie brings a touch to the story that is only possible by him because you can feel his excitement as he recalls his journey.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Cant' stop won't Stop
Any additional comments?
In addition, I want to say that if you have ever had any doubts in your life about accomplishing anything difficult then this is a must read. Richie shows by example what it means to truly pursue your dreams. It is a concept we hear and read a lot about, but Richie does it (and is still doing it), and that isn't something you find everyday. This book will make you reflect on your own efforts toward life and if you incorporate even the littlest bit of Richie's attitude and/or work ethic, you will find yourself succeeding that much more.

Truly inspiring
This was a really great and heartfelt novel. I loved hearing the author tell his own story using his own words. It makes the experience more relateable. During this book you laugh with Richie, you cry with Richie and ultimately you keep rooting for him to succeed. I'm inspired by his story and I'm inspired by his tenacity. If you are feeling a little down, and need a pep talk for life, take a listen. Even if your not like biggest football fan, like myself, you'll still feel pumped by Richie after listening to this . His never ending enthusiasm and his will to succeed are infectious and motivating to all.
