"A universal journey of hope and heart, Freddie's story transcends the game." -- Colt McCoy, NFL Quarterback "Freddie Steinmark was an inspiration not just to the players on his team, but to anybody who knew his story. An incredible person, one of the most courageous people ever to put on a football uniform." -- Joe Theismann, Super Bowl Champion "When we measure the life of Freddie Steinmark with the unyielding definition of a calendar, his time was short. But his story is nonetheless timeless. When we measure by the passion and purpose displayed on the pages of this book, the story of Freddie Steinmark will never go away." -- Jeffrey Marx, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the New York Times bestseller Season of Life "So few athletes have a lasting legacy, and even fewer leave the world a better place than they found it.
