NFL Great, Merril Hoge, Launches Inspirational New Book 'Find A Way'

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Merril Hoge, former NFL Running Back and respected ESPN analyst, chronicles his personal and professional life's challenges in Find A Way, a collection of profoundly moving stories and inspirational prose that demonstrates the capacity of human strength to overcome challenges through the cultivation of mind and spirit.  

In plain and engaging language, Hoge conveys to readers self-empowerment and motivation. And true to its title, Find A Way offers a message of hope as it unlocks a vital principle of attaining our goals when patience and perseverance is eventually tested.

As a young man growing up in Pocatello, Idaho, Hoge recounts personal tragedies like the unexpected death of his mother, and its overwhelming impact on his family.   He also reveals life-altering events like the series of concussions that prematurely ended his NFL career, and the heart-wrenching news he had been diagnosed with cancer - all while 'finding his way' with determination and resolve.

Beyond inspiration, Hoge challenges the reader, to overcome fears and shake off limiting viewpoints.  Arthur J. Rooney II, president, Pittsburgh Steelers says, "Find A Way is an inspirational look at how three short words can motivate a person to go to great heights over the course of a lifetime. Merril overcame many obstacles from his childhood through his battle with cancer.  This heartfelt book can serve as a guiding light to all of us as we face life's challenges."
