About the Book

From fighting for his life to pursuing a career in the
NFL,
ACC Player of the Year
and star Pittsburgh Steelers running back
James Conner has lived a story offering wisdom and advice for anyone who has faced adversity.

During
his first two years at the University of Pittsburgh, running back James Conner
became one of the Panthers' biggest stars, breaking records and winning the
adoration of fans. Then, in the first game of his junior year, disaster struck
in the form of a torn MCL. During rehab, James's health continued to
inexplicably deteriorate until a chest X-ray and biopsy confirmed the
unthinkable: a diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Suddenly, it wasn't just the
dream of an NFL career that was in jeopardy; it was James's life. Yet when he
shared the news of his diagnosis publicly, James rallied family, friends, and
fans, with his message of hope and courage: "Fear is a choice. I choose not to
fear cancer." In just ten words, James defined his own journey on his own terms
and refused to back down from one of the most dreaded diseases known to man.
Drawing
strength from his faith in God and the support of his community and loved ones,
James underwent treatment but continued to practice with his team despite the
intense physical toll of chemotherapy. He was declared cancer-free within a
year. Returning to the field in 2016, he finished his college career with a
record-breaking 3,733 rushing yards and 56 touchdowns. Entering the NFL draft
early, his success continued. Selected in the third round by the Pittsburgh
Steelers, he quickly became one of the most beloved rookies in the league.
In Fear
is a Choice
, James candidly shares his experiences during his battle with
cancer and beyond, encouraging readers and illustrating the spiritual truths
and personal principles that got him through his darkest days. James Conner is an inspiration for everyone who wants to learn how to tackle life's
problems with dignity, faith, and determination.

Review :
"Life is full of choices and decisions, and it's clear in Fear Is a Choice that James chose not to be a victim of his circumstances. His vulnerability makes this book so relatable. James decided during one of the toughest battles in his life to be an inspiration for everyone who will follow. Fear Is a Choice is more than a great book--it's a mentality." - Akbar Gbajabiamila, host of American Ninja Warrior
"You don't have to be a football fan to be inspired by James Conner. On the field, James has never backed down from an opponent. He scored the biggest victory of his life--beating cancer--with that same courage and resolve. Like one of James's powerful touchdown runs, this very personal story will make you want to stand and cheer." - Pat Narduzzi, head coach of the University of Pittsburgh football team
"When faced with the biggest adversity an athlete can face, James Conner chose every emotion but fear. In Fear Is a Choice, he shares his journey and his belief that we are all playing for someone who can't. We must give it our best shot. A truly inspirational book by an incredible role model we all can learn from." - Brittany Wagner, star of Last Chance U
"Fear Is a Choice will inspire every reader to become better through invaluable lifelong lessons and powerful perspective. James teaches us that if we harness fear and meet life's challenges with faith, determination, and hard work there is nothing we can't accomplish." - - Kyle Carpenter, USMC Medal of Honor recipient and national bestselling author of You Are Worth It
