BOUNCE: Down is Inevitable, Up is a Choice

by Chad Varga

We are all thrown down during the course of our lifetime. If it happens at a young age, it can seem incredibly unfair. Unfortunately, you and I cannot always control the circumstances of our lives. But we can control how we react. This is the choice no one on the planet can take from you-ever. No matter what happens to you, no matter how long it happens, you alone choose how you will respond. The most successful in life choose to bounce. They understand that falling down is inevitable. Rising up is a choice. In this celebrated book, Chad Varga takes you on a raw and unforgettable journey from a traumatic childhood ruled by poverty, abuse and an alcoholic, drug-addicted parent to a professional basketball career and beyond. The journey does not end with the story as Chad then leads you back through the specific traits that ultimately allowed him to rise above all the pain and adversity to achieve his dreams. The message is straightforward and compelling. Your dreams matter. You matter. And no matter how bad or impossible your circumstances are, it's never too late to rise above them and become the person you've dreamed of being. Bounce will show you how

Truly inspirational

Everyone can benefit from this book. It is a reminder that we are responsible for the fulfillment we get out of life. Challenging yourself on a daily basis will take you to heights you didn’t think you could reach. Whether you had a horrific upbringing, like Chad, or you’re stuck living a mediocre life not knowing your purpose, you have the ability to change your circumstances.

This book was such an inspiring book. It had me crying and gave me a deeper understanding that we never truly know what us going on in a person's life. As a teacher we sometimes want to believe and hope that all of our students have a perfect life, but unfortunately that is not true.
