Description
by Jeremy Durgana (Author), Joe Mui (Contribution by), W. Buckley Briggs Bruce Arena (Contribution by)
From his experience of living in China's poorest region to playing Division I soccer under the bright lights of the NCAA, Joe Mui shares his compelling story of perseverance and tenacity. From his late introduction to English to his acceptance into Cornell University, Mui reflects on how his humble origins forged him into one of the greatest underdog sports stories yet to be told until now. This is the riveting story of how a boy from a destitute-stricken village ultimately crosses paths with prominent global figures. A bold reminder that life is filled with irony and full-circle moments. This awe-inspiring autobiography not only offers insights for succeeding in school and business, but it also motivates readers to be the best version of themselves today. It's jaw-dropping. It's uplifting. It's eye-opening. It's fearless. It's real. It's the life and times of Joe Mui.
