Author and Award Winning Original

I couldn't put it down. Your story stirred so many memories. I was part of those crowds that erupted with your success. I remember those games, some even where I was sitting and who I was sitting with.  Your mention of "The Gators" made me so proud. Imagine that, our perfect kicker accepted me as his friend. I have always admired you for your humble nature and the class you showed on a daily basis. I'm sure that you had no idea how your friendship became so very important to others.  So very proud of you for sharing your message of faith and the lessons you have learned. You have inspired me, my friend.

I sat down and started to read it and it was not at the beginning,  I started flipping through it and I could hardly put it down!  Honestly, it was wonderful! You did a great great job! I know you are going to do well with it.    I can hear you saying it as I was reading it. Your Mom and Dad would be so proud! I think you did an absolutely great job! I'm really proud of you!

Just finished reading your life up to Farrell’s 15. Wow! You had quite a life. I learned a lot. You did great! Will try & put your words of wisdom into practice. Looking forward to your 15 & sharing this with others. I really need to let God show me His plan/purpose for me & let go of my reins. Great book. ... Excellent 15! Fantastic book! Love it! There’s a lot of good wisdom there. Enjoyed & will pass it on.

I just finished your book and I have the same feeling as when you ran the "Kicker Option".

I am impressed, as always, with your openness, gentle demeanor, and honesty.

Reading your book was as easy as having a conversation with you. I appreciate your kind words regarding my coaching as well.

Life is a great journey and it all revolves around relationships. If I have learned anything over my 70 years it's that if we don't transform our pain, we transmit it.

Understanding that we are loved by our God is the first step in transforming our pain.

Well done Michael, well done.

Just received a call this morning from my father regarding his Father’s Day gift, ”The Barefoot Kicker”. I knew he would enjoy the book but I was surprised how much he enjoyed it. He said it was a page-turner that he couldn’t put down and read the entire book in 2 days. 

I feel victorious in finding the perfect gift for him this year!!

What a fantastic read! It brought back a lot of memories of being at Adrian football games.
