Where do you find hope when all hope is lost?
Jimbo Wallgren grew up in a Texas town under the glow of Friday night football with dreams of playing at the college ranks. Stable home life, gifted athlete, a very blessed and what seemed like ordinary teenage life. All those dreams would vanish in a heartbeat when Jim made his last tackle on the gridiron that forever changed his life.
What Readers Are Saying About The Last Tackle
Buy it, Read it and be forever changed. The writing is so powerful and packed with reality, it is difficult to imagine. I had to read with one eye closed, the other squinted and closing the book to get relief. Jim Wallgren shows he is a very brave and humble man. Amazing story told so openly, revealing deep emotional states. It is a book that will change the reader. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's a powerful read of overcoming trauma and disability, trudging through each day to live life to the fullest. I recommend if you enjoy both sports memoirs and stories of succeeding against adversity. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
