Never Give Up: My Stroke, My Recovery, and My Return to the NFL

"Tedy gives you something to believe in. Whether we're winning or losing, he holds his head high, and he knows himself and handles himself so well, others can't help but follow him. The way he practices and plays forces you to become a better teammate; the way he demands hustle and toughness forces you to become a better leader; and the way he carries himself inspires you to become a better person. This made his return to playing on October 30 against Buffalo all the more electrifying. The stadium was louder that night than the nights we had raised our Super Bowl banners. Our captain, our leader, our inspiration was back on the field doing what he loved to do. Tedy had spent months rehabbing, had countless doctor visits, and had undergone hundreds of tests trying to play again. Just eight months after our victory in Super Bowl XXXIX, here we were celebrating a much bigger victory on our home field. Sure it was great to win the game, but that night we were celebrating Tedy's return as he showed us teammates, fans, family, and friends what it takes to become victorious in life.

"You might be coming to this book as a fan of Tedy's football skills and, don't get me wrong, gaining the insights of one of the best defenders in Patriots history is worth the price of admission, but that's just part of the story. There are a lot of reasons to look up to him, and I promise you will finish this book with an admiration for him on a much deeper level."
—Tom Brady (from the Foreword)

Never Give Up

Chapter One

TEDY BRUSCHI, LINEBACKER

I've been a pro football player for twelve years, and my end-of-season story hasn't changed in a decade: it's always been tough for me to fall asleep when there are no more games to play. You get used to the frantic NFL schedule, one that's akin to cramming for sixteen different tests in sixteen weeks. There are workouts and meetings in the mornings, practices in the afternoons, and extra film study in the evenings. There is a lot of information to absorb in a short amount of time, all leading to the ultimate high of playing in a game once a week. It usually takes my body a few weeks to adjust to the off-season schedule. This explains why, one day after I returned from the 2005 Pro Bowl, the late-night glow from a television could be seen in the master bedroom at 21 Red Oak Road. It was one o'clock in the morning, and as Heidi slept, I sat in bed watching a repeat. Not only was it a repeat that many fans in America had recently seen, it was a program in which I had been one of the characters.
