From fighting for his life to pursuing a career in the
NFL, ACC Player of the Year
and star Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has lived a story offering wisdom and advice for anyone who has faced adversity.
During
his first two years at the University of Pittsburgh, running back James Conner
became one of the Panthers' biggest stars, breaking records and winning the
adoration of fans. Then, in the first game of his junior year, disaster struck
in the form of a torn MCL. During rehab, James's health continued to
inexplicably deteriorate until a chest X-ray and biopsy confirmed the
unthinkable: a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Suddenly, it wasn't just the
dream of an NFL career that was in jeopardy; it was James's life. Yet when he
shared the news of his diagnosis publicly, James rallied family, friends, and
fans, with his message of hope and courage: ?Fear is a choice. I choose not to
fear cancer.? In just ten words, James defined his own journey on his own terms
and refused to back down from one of the most dreaded diseases known to man.
Drawing
strength from his faith in God and the support of his community and loved ones,
James underwent treatment but continued to practice with his team despite the
intense physical toll of chemotherapy. He was declared cancer-free within a
year. Returning to the field in 2016, he finished his college career with a
record-breaking 3,733 rushing yards and 56 touchdowns. Entering the NFL draft
early, his success continued. Selected in the third round by the Pittsburgh
Steelers, he quickly became one of the most beloved rookies in the league.
In Fear
is a Choice, James candidly shares his experiences during his battle with
cancer and beyond, encouraging readers and illustrating the spiritual truths
and personal principles that got him through his darkest days. James Conner is an inspiration for everyone who wants to learn how to tackle life's
problems with dignity, faith, and determination.
