Never Give Up! by “Mighty” Mike Simmel
Foreword by Former NY Knicks Player and NBA All-Star John Starks
This book promotes acceptance and overcoming perceived limitations for kids and adults. It will enlighten, delight, and capture your imagination. It will help you understand that life’s obstacles should not keep you on the sidelines.
Young Xander Zimmons has three main loves in life: his mom and dad, his dog Maddie, and basketball. But as the new kid at Piedmont Middle School, he has nobody to shoot hoops with and worries that his epilepsy might make him stick out more than an airball at a playoff game. That is until he meets Evan Thomas, a cool, quiet kid who shares Xander’s love for basketball. Evan has autism, and the new best buds instantly bond over their “invisible” disabilities and passion for the game.
Things get really exciting when they’re invited to attend a Bounce Out the Stigma basketball clinic run by “Mighty” Mike Simmel—a real-life basketball pro who doesn’t let epilepsy interfere with his sick dribbling skills. At Mighty Mike’s clinic and camp, the boys meet other kids just like them who have disabilities and love to play b-ball. Together, the kids learn that nothing can slow them down.
Written by “Mighty” Mike Simmel, former 12 year entertainer for the Harlem Wizards and co-founder in 2005 of the nationally recognized Bounce Out the Stigma ® Project.This fun and inspirational book teaches kids and adults about challenging themselves against the limits imposed by others!
