Synopsis

Dan Driver appeared to be living the American dream. He had a comfortable job with a reputable accounting firm, financial security and a great family. But something was missing. Something that excelling at work couldn’t satisfy. As a former multi-sport athlete, Dan understood the value of having a wide range of skill sets and experiences. The parallels between sports and business are many, and Dan came to the realization that he wasn’t ready to exit the competitive arena for good. In fact, the time was right to try something truly outside the corporate box. Sports fans, as well as fans of the human spirit, will cheer for Dan as he pursues a dream most would never dare attempt. This inspiring story carries a positive message about following your passion and striving to reach your potential.
