But the bottom line is that Tedy returned to football because he is a football player and that is what he does and it was clear from his doctors that he was in no significant danger.

Tedy also talks about football and how much winning means to him. Getting back to normal for him was to not thinking about his stroke anymore but just go out and do his best to help his team win games. His coming full circle was not having the media or fans have a pity party for him. One of the best stories he relays in the book was several games after his comeback and after coach Bill Belichick lost his father, the coach said: Do you know what would be a great feel good story?

If we go out on Sunday and beat the Jets. I could go on and on but I will end with two things. First, and least important, Tedy talks about how emotionally upset he was after the New England loss to Denver the year of his comeback, ending their two year run as Super Bowl champions and the chance to make history by winning three in a row. I was depressed, physically and mentally, for a week. Second, and more importantly, a big reason Bru wrote this book was to educate people about strokes, especially their early symptoms so they can be caught as soon as possible and do the least damage, and to provide some inspiration for people who have suffered from strokes.

But Tedy is an inspiration to us all. Nov 22, Henry added it. Being from New England and also being a football fan, Tedy's story intrigued me. Although I have been a fan of the Patriots since I started watching football, Bruschi played professionally when I was a bit younger. His book gives insight on how life in the NFL was a decade ago, where I was not as knowledgable of the sport, but also goes into great detail about his recovery following a stroke he suffered following a Super Bowl victory.

The daily struggles Bruschi endured for months were hard to r Being from New England and also being a football fan, Tedy's story intrigued me. The daily struggles Bruschi endured for months were hard to read about, especially when he talks about how he was unable to do much with his young children, TJ and Rex. From cover to cover the text was well organized, beginning with the moments leading up to his stroke before describing his road ahead, his family, and eventual return to football.

While it may have been disappointing that Bruschi never won another championship following his return, the story itself is tremendous. No professional football player had ever returned from a stroke and continued playing, especially not at the level at which Bruschi played. The mental and physical strength that is described throughout the story made me appreciate being healthy a lot more.

I give this book a 4 star rating because it gives a great moral and teaches all readers a lesson. The moral Tedy Bruschi shows in the book is to persevere. Also, the title of the novel,"Never Give Up", shows his message in the book. Tedy had a terrible stroke and he thought his football career was over.

    This was a very good book. I learned a lot about how and where Tedy grew up and how intense his football life was.

    I found that the book went into a lot of detail about the physical therapy, even too much detail sometimes. It was a very well written book. I would recommend this book to any football fan, Patriots fans, or any fan of Tedy Bruschi's career. Nov 05, Nick Demarco rated it it was amazing. Never give up is a good book because I enjoy football an this is all about football am his career. It is a very interesting book an anyone could read this book.

    The title of my book was Never Give Up: The main characters in the are of course Tedy himself, his wife Heidi, and his doctor after his stroke happened, Dr. Just weeks after winning his third Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, star linebacker Tedy Bruschi woke up in the middle of the night and could barely move the left side of his The title of my book was Never Give Up: Just weeks after winning his third Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, star linebacker Tedy Bruschi woke up in the middle of the night and could barely move the left side of his body.

    He woke up a couple hours later along with his wife and they eventually called knowing something was wrong. Bruschi left with Heidi in the back of the ambulance. I really liked this book and it was a good story of perseverance. Bruschi talks about how he was able to make the comeback. This was mainly about the stroke so it would be best for stroke survivors or people who want to know what goes through other minds when this happens. This is not what I had expected. And actually, that is my fault.

    This book is precisely what the title says and not really anything else. There is very little history of Tedy Bruschi, the Patriots, or football in general. This is a story of him being a football player, having a stroke, struggling with his future and ultimately returning to the NFL. Apr 10, Stephen Micale rated it really liked it.

    It was a book about his stroke and then his recovery. The book follows his life prestroke, during his games and alter party. Then his stroke and what was happening during, like the diagnosis. Then his recovery and eventual return to the game He lovesfootball. This is a very inspirational story, that shows if you try hard enough you can accomplish anything you want, no matter what.

    This book starts out with Tedy being healthy and enjoying his win in the super bowl. He just got his third ring a. Tedy was doing great for himself. Bruschi was rushed to the hospital. Once there he was diagnosed with a stroke and a hole in his heart. He stayed in the hospital for a few weeks.

    This book was really good. It was a inspirational story about Tedy who overcame tremendous odds to get back to where he was and play the game he loved. I think this book was pretty good and deserves 4 out of 5 stars. It could have been a little more better if only it was more detailed and had more too it. If it gave more detail. I also think the title was a little misleading because it says that the book is about his recovery and stroke, but the book was more of a autobiography covering his whole life.

    Overall this was a really enjoyable book, it was really well written especially because it was not written by a actually author. Wether you are a fan or not it is a really enjoyable book and it has become a favorite of mine. This book will inspire and motivate you to overcome the obstacles in your life and never give up. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. Its just a great and inspirational story.

    This book is not only targeted at people who like Tedy but people who have maybe had a stroke, and need some inspiration or encouragement of even hope. But an ordinary person can read this and get a something out of it as well, they can be motivated to overcome some obstacles in their lives that may seem impossible but once you read this you will know nothing is impossible. So yes I would definitely recommend this to anyone, its a great enjoyable read that you will not want to put down until you turn the final page.

    I learned a lot by about one of my favorite athletes. It also gave me the message to never give up and if you give it your all you can conquer any obstacle. I was also able to learn of the effects of a stoke and the symptoms of a stroke. This was a really great book, I truly enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it to anybody who is looking for a inspiring, and enjoyable book. This is now one of my favorite books. Feb 20, Virginia Runyon rated it it was ok Shelves: Jan 04, Justin Sylvia rated it liked it.

    Granted i didn't really know all that much about Tedy Bruschi as player never mind as a human being, i would honestly say that i thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from Page 1 to the last. I bought this book, as i usually do on my Nook Color and decided to jump in shortly after i finished reading my previous book. I for 1 am glad that he is a role model to look up to and he also is a good example of someone who had a SERIOUS medical issue, but was about to return to his normal life of doing what he felt he was meant or born to do.

    If I've learned anything about Tedy Bruschi as a human being, a role model, and a stroke survivor is that no matter what, you can overcome the obstacles in your life and still be able to live your life again, just like u were before the setback.

This was a wonderful read, because it didn't feel like reading at all, if felt like having Tedy sit right next to you, telling you the story.

    And what a story.

Sep 10, Zach Wilber rated it really liked it. However, this book goes beyond just football. As many people know, Tedy suffered a stroke in just days after playing in the Pro Bowl.

    This book covers all of the good and bad times he experienced in those times, and how he managed to come back and still be an excellent player. I would recommend this book t Never Give Up: I would recommend this book to anyone, because you don't have to be a football fan to appreciate this amazing story.

    Oct 29, Chris rated it it was amazing. A fascinating story of a remarkable young man, with 3 young children, who suffered a stroke at the age of 31 or With the help of a very supportive wife and extraordinary medical care, he physically recovered. Never intending to return to the NFL, he slowly healed and began to see that if he could play pro football again, he might be an encouragement to other stroke survivors to achieve their potential in their own recovery.
