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. But he was not done with life, nor the goals he wished to accomplish. 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.
