Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 8
Standing a stellar five feet, seven inches and weighing in at a magnificent 150 pounds, you wouldn't think Richie would be much of a football player. Instead he looks more like a chess player. Richie Contartesi is a small-town kid who dreamt his entire life of playing big-time college football in the SEC. He had the heart, passion, tenacity, and love for the game, but there was a nagging problem that haunted him from youth football through college: his size.

Where does In Spite of the Odds rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In Spite of the Odds is a great book in so many ways. Richie overcomes obstacle after obstacle, showing his hard work ethic and positive attitude, while telling a heart felt story that has you wanting more.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Richie is my favorite character because of his 'must win' attitude. He just never stops!!!
What does Richie Contartesi bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Richie brings a touch to the story that is only possible by him because you can feel his excitement as he recalls his journey.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Cant' stop won't Stop
Any additional comments?
In addition, I want to say that if you have ever had any doubts in your life about accomplishing anything difficult then this is a must read. Richie shows by example what it means to truly pursue your dreams. It is a concept we hear and read a lot about, but Richie does it (and is still doing it), and that isn't something you find everyday. This book will make you reflect on your own efforts toward life and if you incorporate even the littlest bit of Richie's attitude and/or work ethic, you will find yourself succeeding that much more.
