Every Day Counts

Are you living like every day counts in your life or are you passively surviving the ups and downs of life?

Former NFL player and ESPN college football analyst David Pollack takes readers on a journey through the principles of resilience and personal growth so that you might not simply survive, but thrive every day, no matter what you face. Pollack played four seasons at Georgia, earning All-American in three of those seasons. In the 2005 NFL draft, he was a first-round selection for the Cincinnati Bengals where he had a promising future in the sport. However, in his second season, he suffered a neck injury that ended his career.

Pollack is no stranger to navigating difficult days, but offers his readers hope that no matter what situations you find yourself in, you can make the day count by starting right where you are, using what you have, and doing what you can just for today. With compelling personal stories and practical advice, this motivational guide is more than simply a football memoir or self-help book. It inspires readers to begin anew at any stage in life. Every Day Counts is not just a book—it’s a blueprint for readers to become the best version of themselves and learning that actions determine their destiny.
