Book excerpt: "Perfect for football fans of all stripes, this dual-focus portrait celebrates the winning power of strong bonds between coach and player." —Publishers Weekly A rare, behind the scenes? look at the New Orleans Saints over more than 14 seasons In 2006, Sean Payton arrived in New Orleans as a relatively unknown first time NFL head coach. His task was daunting: resurrect a Saints team that had just finished 3–13 and had won only one playoff game in the previous four decades. Meanwhile, the city was undergoing its own staggering rebuild following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina five months earlier. Payton knew that to turn around the Saints' fortunes, he needed to turn around their dreadful quarterback legacy. The Saints targeted a San Diego Chargers castoff they hoped would become the new face of their franchise: Drew Brees. Every team in the NFL had passed on Brees at least once because of his surgically repaired right shoulder or his lack of prototypical size. But for the Saints, Brees was worth the risk. Together, these two underdogs rolled up their sleeves and got to work, helping rebuild the city as they transformed the franchise from laughingstock to Super Bowl Champions. What they have done since, including building the most productive offense the NFL has ever seen and setting multiple passing and scoring records, has only deepened their legacy in New Orleans and throughout the league. Based on more than 14 years of firsthand reporting and dozens of interviews with players, coaches, and executives,?Payton and Brees is the definitive account of how Sean Payton and Drew Brees transformed a team, a city, and the game of football.

He has a great career, beautiful family, several lucrative endorsement deals, and a Super Bowl championship ring. He has it made.Or does he?A lot of individuals do not realize that Brees has had to go through all sorts of adversity - injuries, his parents' divorce, and his mother's suicide, among other things - to get where he is today. He relied on his faith and persistence to reach new heights. Just like you and me, Brees has had to deal with doubts. His childhood dream was to be a professional baseball player. Along the way, he changed course and decided to pursue a football career instead. It was not going to be an easy path, either. He suffered an injury in high school which made him think that his gridiron dream was in jeopardy. What made him stay the course? Why did he persevere through it all? Brees' life has had several interesting twists and turns. For instance, he thought he would spend his entire career with the San Diego Chargers, the team that drafted him 32nd overall in 2001. Alas, an unfortunate incident led him to sign with the New Orleans Saints instead. Brees' career was not always rosy. Even if he helped the Saints win the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the 2009 NFL season, he also endured many losing campaigns. He may be a superstar athlete, but he has had ups and downs just like everyone else. This book hopes to encourage aspiring athletes and regular people alike. I hope Drew Brees' story will inspire you to be the best person you can become, regardless of what life throws your way.
