Have you ever felt like you've hit rock bottom? That moment when you're so deep down, you can't even see a glimmer of light above? It's a place more daunting than the deepest ocean trench, known as the Challenger Deep. Imagine being there, at the lowest point on Earth, over 36,000 feet below the surface, where the pressure is unimaginable. Now, what if I told you there's a way up, a path that leads from the depths of despair to the pinnacle of triumph?

This isn't just a thought experiment. It's the essence of our new book, "Challenger Deep: Athletes Rising Above Adversity," co-authored with Tami Matheny, set to release on February 23, 2024. This book isn't merely a collection of stories. It's a beacon for anyone who's ever faced adversity, offering guidance, inspiration, and a roadmap to overcoming the seemingly insurmountable.

The Genesis of "Challenger Deep"

In the words of Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Adversity teaches us things we cannot learn otherwise." Inspired by this belief, Tami and I embarked on a journey to explore the depths of human resilience through the lens of athletes who've encountered and conquered adversity. Our aim was to harness the power of storytelling, not just to narrate their journeys but to illuminate the path for others navigating their dark waters.
