A Notre Dame Memoir. This is "Rising thru every Fall."

ONLY EIGHT PLAYERS IN Notre Dame Football history can take you on this behind-the-scenes journey through the coaching carousel years of 2001 to 2005. Experience the turmoil of FIVE years under the leadership of FIVE head coaches from a player's perspective. Feel the agony as former player Matt "Turbo" Shelton navigates multiple career-threatening injuries, one of which nearly took his life. Come along for Matt's journey as he battles through the pain of a torn ACL to break a record that stood for 25 years in Notre Dame history, all before getting his chance in the NFL.

Life is full of challenges and obstacles, but it is how we respond to them that defines us. What can be made of our Expectations when they fall short of Reality? How do we navigate Change when we anticipate Consistency? And most importantly, why are we compelled to pull ourselves up from the ground after being knocked down?

Join us on this Uplifting and Absorbing Journey through Unprecedented Change.
