The only thing that moved faster than this explosive bestseller was Barry Sanders himself running the football. In this courageous and powerful book, Barry shares with readers why he chose to leave pro football just as he was closing in on the all-time NFL record for most yards gained. During his incredible NFL career, Barry won the Rookie of the Year award, led the league in rushing four times, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, and twice won the Player of the Year award. Yet, at the height of his career, he walked away without explanation. Barry's story is direct, unflinching, and honest. He considers his role within the pantheon of legendary players, citing those he considers his heroes, as well as paying homage to the other inspirations in his life, namely his mother and late sister, Nancy. In heartfelt words and dazzling photos, Barry traces the story of his life, from a tumultuous childhood in Wichita to his Heisman-winning career at Oklahoma State University. What sets this autobiography apart from others is Barry's thoughtful and deeply held committment to fatherhood, preparation, and personal integrity.

The package also includes a DVD of footage from NFL Films that shows the power, grace, and sheer speed of one of pro football's greatest players in action-a rare treat for any football fan.
