About the Book
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Brian Dawkins’ life story is one of constant renewal and rebirth. Often the underdog and challenged by mental health struggles early in his career, he could have easily been pulled down the wrong path. Instead, the guiding presence of his family, friends and faith served as a constant beacon of light along his path to becoming one of the most feared competitors in the NFL and an exclusive member of the NFL Hall of Fame.
This book is about adapting, overcoming and conquering the challenges life throws at you by looking at pain and discomfort from a more enlightened perspective. It will leave you inspired and motivated to perform at the highest level possible, whether that’s on the field or away from it.
50% of the net proceeds received by Brian from book sales will be pledged to the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation to help support mental wellness, financial literacy and family assistance programs.
"Blessed by the Best" is a journey into the life of someone who inspired me to never settle for being mediocre. Brian Dawkins' aim in life has always been to be better than those around him physically, mentally and spiritually. Brian was not only an incredible football player but an awesome friend, and his faith and drive are electric and contagious. "Blessed by the Best" is a must read and will surely motivate you in all areas of your life." ---- Brian Westbrook, two-time Pro Bowl halfback with the Eagles and San Francisco, 2002-10
