Heroes Us Among

Sinossi

Discover true-to-life stories of figures across the globe whose determination, dreams and hard work allowed greatness in their fields. From politics to the Nobel Peace Prize, each remarkable individual offers a unique story of grit that will resonate with readers of all ages to inspire grit for greatness.

Stephen Curry’s life is a story of hard work, determination, and perseverance. Though he was born as the son of a famous NBA player, his father’s reputation did not automatically grant him immediate access to the world of professional basketball. There was nothing about Steph Curry’s birthright that gave him the advantage in the world of basketball other than igniting his love for it at an early age. Steph Curry did not have the physique of your usual basketball player, but that never stopped him from working hard to prove the whole world wrong.
