Reseñas de la Crítica

'The IF in Life... The title alone speaks volumes. As a fellow NY Giant, I've come to know Rashad as a genuine mentor. He taught me the difference between being an NFL player and a pro-athlete. His deeply missed presence in the locker room is a great testament to the incredible obstacles he has tackled to get to where he is today. This book chronicles that story and gives you great principles for handling the IFs of life along the way! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!'--Odell Beckham, Jr.--NFL All-Pro Wide Receiver for the NY Giants

'Although we all come from different backgrounds and have different stories, humanity has this in common: we only get one shot at this life. Rashad has written a book that will help anybody who wants to get out of 'what could have been' and start making the most of the opportunities we have. I know The IF in Life will be a blessing to many!'--Carl Lentz--Hillsong NYC Pastor

You'll fall in love with Rashad's story. And you'll be inspired to become your best self!

What and inspirational story for young and old alike. RJ is a great role model for your young underdogs!

Inspiring and thought-provoking...

Inspired by this book and all its underlying themes. I love how Rashad lets readers know they too can live their dreams and gives his blueprint for how he has achieved his own and continues to do so. It cannot help but stir you once you learn how he has overcome incredible challenges by taking personal responsibility and making things happen in an age where making excuses and entitlement are commonplace. This book is for anyone who wants to live the life for which they were created. Kudos for exemplifying humility and giving God the glory! 1 Corinthians 2:9.
Big Respect.
