Description

Chad played undergraduate basketball for Baylor University. He then went to graduate school and played basketball with Memphis Tigers.

“Have you ever had a dream that became a reality but then ended up not being at all what you expected? This is a true and captivating story about a basketball player who realized his dream and then encountered a series of unfathomable circumstances. As a 7-footer whose life was far from ordinary, Chad faced countless adversity and learned to overcome through inner strength and perseverance. His testimony of faith in God exemplifies inspiring character and provides an anchor of hope. S ports fans everywhere get an honest, inside look at what it is like to spend your young life competing on a big stage.”

Note from Chad:

“Although the book is not super long (about 117 pages with pics), I put a lot of time and effort into trying to make this an honest and accurate description of my experience to date. However, I do not want this to be about me, instead I want everyone to see God working through this book, because it is only because of Him that I am able to tell this story. Total reliance on God is what I discovered to be the key to having a successful life.

There are some areas in the book, especially towards the end (the best part of the book in my opinion so keep reading) that I believe God wanted me to talk about specifically, in order to better share my testimony.

If this can impact even one person and have a positive influence on their life, then it was all worth it.

Thank you for your support.” ✊
