Head Strong: How a Broken Neck Strengthened My Spirit

On July 3, 2009, Scott Fedor dove into a lake, broke his neck, and instantly altered the course of his life–forever. A driven individual, with a thirst for adventure who thought he had his life planned out, Fedor was left paralyzed and subsequently drowned. Given little hope by doctors for a productive life, Scott refused to give up and instead made it his mission to embark upon a new adventure and defy the odds. This captivating and inspirational memoir recounts the collection of life experiences Scott endured that ultimately provided the tools needed to confront such adversity. Never one to sit still, Scott's zest for life rewarded him with discovery across the globe and ran the gamut from skydiving to bull riding to sport fishing. However, Do you want to live? was the question Scott had to answer, faced with a life full of uncertainty when his dreams were ripped away.

There were new goals in front of him, ones that proved much more meaningful and provided valuable lessons of faith and resiliency that helped him overcome the loss of independence, a promising career, and a wife whom he loved. Head Strong is a gripping tale of determination, perseverance, incredible faith, and human triumph, a book sure to resonate with anyone who has searched for strength and resilience in the wake of tragedy and loss. It is a must-read for those who seek to overcome fear and doubt, cultivate perseverance, turn failure into growth, and find connection with God and family.

“HEAD STRONG takes you on an inspirational journey, full of trials and tribulations, and ultimately a renewed sense of strength and purpose.”

Lisa Fenn, author of Carry On: A Story of Resilience, Redemption, and an Unlikel

"An intimate and honest journey through one man's traumatic injury -- one that permanently damages his body yet perpetually intensifies his will. His story is an informative, clear-eyed examination of what it takes to fight back from personal tragedy, with grit, humor and hope. His resolve will challenge the limits of your own life."

Patrick Rummerfield, author, motivational speaker, and first quadriplegic to com

“Very few understand what challenges individuals living with a spinal cord injury go through both physically and mentally on a daily basis. Sucking it up and developing an Iron Will is priority one. The power of the human spirit and the resilience that one’s psyche can build is truly amazing. Scott W. Fedor’s book HEAD STRONG is a must read for young and old. After reading this book YOU'LL want to do a huge gut check!”

Rev. Damian J. Ference, author of The Strangeness of Truth: Vibrant Faith in a D

“Scott Fedor was living the American dream, but one sunny July afternoon, his life turned into a nightmare. HEAD STRONG is a book written by a man who should be dead, and if not dead, nowhere near as alive as he is today. His story will make you laugh, cry, wince, smile, take a deep breath, and thank God that you are alive. And if you don’t believe in God, you might after reading this book.”
