You’re never more dangerous than when everyone’s counting you out.

I’m not the guy.I’m mechanically sound. I’m too slow.I’m able to light up a scoreboard. I’m a game manager.I’m a building block. I’m a stopgap.I’m a franchise quarterback. I’m an insurance policy.I’m a Pro Bowl MVP. I’m a career second-stringer.I’m dependable. I’m a fluke.I’m a Super Bowl MVP. I’m trade bait.I’ve been overlooked, praised, questioned, lauded, labeled, celebrated, and derided―sometimes all in the span of a single week.That’s life in the NFL.It took me years to separate Nick Foles the person from Nick Foles the football player. It was a long and, at times, painful process―in fact, I still struggle with it. But making that distinction has completely transformed my heart, my career, my perspective, and my life.The journey hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve made a lot of mistakes and missteps along the way. But looking back, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change a thing. Because at the end of the day, the lessons I’ve learned from my failures, struggles, and weaknesses have made me who I am today.
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 he stay ready despite numerous trades and discouraging injuries, able to step up in the moment and perform at the top of his game?

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.
Great uplifting read - Eagles fan or not, football fan or not, religious or not, softy or not I read this memoir cover to cover in record time and though the ending is not a surprise (anyone who follows the NFL would know the result) I could not put this book down. It is a compelling read whether or not one is a football fan. While football plays a key role in the book - it is certainly central to Nick's journey and there are some great play-by-plays/behind the scenes accounts of the games leading up to Super Bowl LII - the narrative is about Nick's faith, perseverance, and drive to find himself independent of being a professional athlete. It is the trials & tribulations that he and his wife Tori face in this book that pull you in, making one realize that life challenges are required to not only perform at the highest level (Super Bowl in this case) but also to achieve happiness no matter the profession. I found this story to be exceedingly unfiltered and relatable which was a major draw throughout the read; though I've read other memoirs it was as though I had stepped into Nick's and Tori's lives as it was happening vs. hearing about their journey from a distance or heavy filter.This story was not all football - it is also a touching love story and one that shed quite a lot of light on Tori's struggle with POTS, an illness that affects so many people but is poorly diagnosed. POTS certainly deserves much greater awareness given how misunderstood it is and this book gives it a very real boost. The fact that their relationship blossomed in spite of an incredibly rough period during Tori's illness and while Nick's journey to becoming an amazing quarterback was in full force - not to mention being geographically far apart most of the time - is beyond extraordinary. Pretty amazing story by itself.Awesome story I’m a follower of the faith, a former player and current fan so this book was a perfect fit. I read it front to back in three days - which is very abnormal for me. It was entertaining, interesting, touching, and motivational all at once. If you’re a serious NFL fan, you’ll already know most of what happens in the book but Nick shares awesome moments behind the scenes and how his faith impacted his mindset and decision making. What an awesome story and what an awesome God we serve.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.
