The Next Level

A Game I Had to Play!

De: Vernon Turner

Narrado por: Eric Stewart

"'The Next Level: A Game I Had To Play!' is the autobiography of the 'Improbable' journey of Vernon Turner.

"When people look at me and my life from the outside, they say man, VT has it all; this guy actually lived the American dream. When people look at me, they see me smiling almost all the time, always with a positive attitude, always with a glass half-full' outlook on everything. But what people don't see is the bad dreams... and broken heart I still have to this day due to my past!"

"No one will ever understand the pain and regret I have inside due to my past... things that will haunt me until the day I die! Yeah, that ole cliché is so true: "The grass is not always greener on the other side". This true story is about a little boy who lived an adult life from age eight; a little boy who endured insurmountable events that haunts him to this day! This ‘Improbable’ little boy turned to the game of football to escape his world…. When the unthinkable happens… this ‘Improbable’ little boy HAD to turn to the game he fell in love with (at age ten) to save his family!

"I truly hope that my book connects with each and every one of you in an inspiring way. Looking back now, I can truly say that I lived an amazing life; it's the kind of life story that needs to be shared! If my story can help one person, then writing, 'The Next Level: A Game I Had To Play!' was worth it!"

An interesting listen

I appreciated how this audiobook is an autobiography of Vernon Turner. It was an interesting listen, to hear about all of his ups and downs throughout life, but ultimately what led him to the positive outlook he has now. It's inspirational hearing about how he worked through all the challenges in life. It kept me engaged while I was on a long drive, because I wanted to see what else was next.

Raw, Honesty and Emotion

Highly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a raw and uplifting story about grit, determination, and the power of hope. A must-listen for sports fans and anyone who loves stories of triumph over adversity!

Powerful

I love and appreciate Turner's story on many levels and am grateful that he's willing to share things he and his family have gone through. It says A LOT about someone and their character when they're able to rise above and turn challenges into their power for the greater good. What an incredible human being and an example for others to follow.

This story is easy to listen to and doesn't get boring!! I can't say that's the case for every biography or autobiography but this is well told/written. It kept me in suspense when my audible was glitching at one point, I just wanted to hear the rest of the story!!

Thank you for inspiring people to stay in the heart, make the most of challenges, and live their best lives.
