Author Signed First Print - First Edition Hardcover. Hand Signed by Joe Namath. Timed for the 50th anniversary of his legendary Super Bowl "Guarantee," the NFL icon who first brought show business to sports is finally ready to tell the story of his spectacular rise and reign as "Broadway Joe," to his struggles with alcoholism, to the redemption he found in god later in life. "I guarantee it." Three days before the now-legendary 1969 Super Bowl III, quarterback Joe Namath promised the nation that he could lead the New York Jets to a clear underdog victory against the seemingly invincible Baltimore Colts. In what has been remembered as perhaps the biggest upset in football history, that game catapulted the young superstar to not only football immortality but also into a stratosphere of celebrity the likes of which only a few athletes have ever achieved. But before all that, 'Broadway Joe' was just Joe, the small-town kid from Beaver Falls, PA with an arm so impressive that it caught the attention of University of Alabama's Bear Bryant. Following a knockout four-year run at Alabama, Namath was ceremoniously courted by every professional football team. Yet it was the New York Jets who offered a then-unheard-of figure, $427,000, to bring football's Golden Boy to the upstart AFL. In an era of raucous rebellion, shifting social norms, and political upheaval, Namath's roughish charm quickly became symbolic of the commercialization of pro sports, while his progressive views on race further pioneered integration on the gridiron. By 26, with a Super Bowl title under his belt, Namath was quite simply the most famous athlete alive. Although his legacy has been cemented in the history books, underneath the eccentric yet charismatic personality was a player plagued by injury and addiction, both sex and substance.

In athletics, regardless of the sport, we are driven by competition - by the idea to become better, we must be bigger, stronger, and faster. But did you know those three things have nothing to do with becoming a Complete Athlete? Becoming a Complete Athlete is about so much more than your skill level or your strength. It is the constant drive to understand that, as athletes, our journeys are about so much more than any destination. They are about the individuals we become because of those journeys. This book will challenge you to look at the athletic journey from a different perspective with advice and stories from Paralympic Gold Medalist Mallory Weggemann as she intimately discusses overcoming adversity, challenging perception, and pushing the boundaries of possibility. Mallory Weggemann represented Team USA at two Paralympic Games. In London 2012, she won both gold and bronze and set a Paralympic Record in 50m Freestyle. Most recently, she competed in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, where she swam all seven individual events and made it into the top 8 in five of the seven. She is focusing on continuing her career with eyes set on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. When she is not training for competition, Weggemann is a motivational speaker whose audiences range from educational groups to Fortune 500 companies. Her inspirational messages share valuable lessons about adapting to change, overcoming fear, and survival in the face of tremendous odds. She challenges her audiences to remember: "The only limits we have are the ones that we create."

You Are Worth It: Building a Life Worth Fighting For

From&nbsp;the youngest living recipient of the Medal of Honor, an extraordinary inspirational&nbsp;memoir that will change the life of every reader.&nbsp; "Kyle displayed a heroism in the blink of an eye that will inspire for generations" --President Barack Obama, at Kyle Carpenter's Medal of Honor ceremony I want my story to help others see what's extraordinary in themselves. --Kyle Carpenter On November 21, 2010, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Kyle Carpenter was posted on a rooftop in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when an enemy grenade skittered across the roof. Kyle's post that afternoon, with&nbsp;his friend and fellow Marine Nick Eufrazio, had been eerily quiet; now, with no time to escape, they had to make a split-second decision or they would both be dead.&nbsp;Without a second thought, Kyle jumped on the grenade, a brutal killing device. His vision went blank, his entire body numb, he tried to move but could not. His gear had melted. It felt as though someone was pouring warm water all over him; he dazedly realized that the liquid was his own blood. He had made an instantaneous decision, almost on instinct, one that would change his life forever. Kyle's heroic act saved Nick Eufrazio's life, but nearly cost Kyle his own.&nbsp;His heart flatlined three times. Wounded from head to toe, Kyle lost his right eye, as well as most of his face from the nose down. It would take dozens of surgeries and almost three years in and out of the hospital to reconstruct his body--and from there, he began the process of rebuilding his life. What he has accomplished in the last five years is truly extraordinary: he's undergone extensive physical rehabilitation, graduated from college, ran three marathons, and embarked on a new career as a motivational speaker. And in 2014, he was awarded the our nation's highest military decoration, Medal of Honor, by President Barack Obama, making Carpenter the youngest living recipient of the award. "With that singular act of courage, Kyle, you not only saved your brother in arms, you displayed a heroism in the blink of an eye that will inspire for generations," stated the president. You Are Worth It&nbsp;is a memoir about the War in Afghanistan and Kyle's heroics, yes, but it also is&nbsp;a manual for living. Organized around the credos that have guided Kyle's life (from "Don't Hide Your Scars" to "Call Your Mom"), the book&nbsp;encourages us to&nbsp;become our best selves in the time we've been given on earth. Above all, it's about finding purpose&nbsp;in&nbsp;life, despite the significant challenges that may come your way. As Kyle writes, addressing us all: "You are worth it. You are. You are worth protecting, you are worth fighting for, you are worth time in a hospital bed and deep scars on my body--because all Americans, the people of Afghanistan, and so many people around the world who go to bed at night wishing to one day taste freedom and peace have inherent worth as human beings. If we don't spend our time on this earth looking out for one another, what are we really doing with our lives?" Moving and unforgettable,&nbsp;You Are Worth It&nbsp;is an astonishing memoir from one of our most extraordinary young leaders.
