Description
Nearly thirty years ago, in a tiny, impoverished Ghanaian village, a young boy dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player and competing against European powerhouse Manchester United. Despite being told that he wasn't good enough to become a professional soccer player, his dream was realized after being drafted by Seattle Sounders FC and competing against Manchester United, in front of 67,000 fans. At twenty-three years old, Michael Tetteh had realized his childhood dream.
Then late one night, an encounter caused him to give up the single thing that had defined his entire life-soccer. In one moment, he surrendered to a new vision and stepped into the unknown. Was he crazy-or brave?

Powerful lessons from real-life experiences, along with thoughts from trusted influential and transformational leaders (including Myles Munroe, John C. Maxwell and Zig Ziglar), will lead you to a new awareness.
Become empowered! You can transform and transcend the opinions, conditions, and circumstances of your life. Discover the gift trapped within you...and share it with the world
