12px;">Who is Mike Hill? For 49 years, he attempted to answer the question, to no avail. 12px;"> Hill was known to the world as the polished, versatile talent with multi-decade broadcast experience. After joining ESPN in 2004, Hill made a name for himself at the network, beginning at the highlight desk for ESPN News and later transitioning to some of the carrier's highest-priority programming, appearing as a host on SportsCenter, NFL Live, Baseball Tonight and NBA Tonight among others. In August of 2013, Hill joined FOX Sports. The embodiment of professionalism, Hill appeared to be living the American Dream; however, his private, internal struggles were taking a toll on his ability to live and to love. 12px;">Eventually, the mounting trauma resulting from childhood memories of witnessing his mother victimized by domestic violence, a lack of proper male tutelage, discovering that his stepfather was a murder for hire, and the demise of two marriages, forced Hill to his breaking point. Amidst a silent cry for help and a quest to heal from within, forced him to pick up his pen to chronicle the most prolific moments of his life.

Industry Reviews

Mike has boldly expressed the sentiments of many men who often cry in the dark or remain silent about the internal traumas that manifest externally. He shows that honesty is truly the best medicine.

Michael Strahan, American TV Host

Mike is the definition of a self made man, everything he has, he earned. It hasn't been easy, his journey has been full of great moments, some heartbreak and like us all he's made some mistakes. That's why his success is so beautiful and his story is so important.

Kevin Frazier, Entertainment Tonight

I could tell you how long I've known Mike Hill, but that would do a disservice to our friendship, because it's not measured by time, but by moments. And as much as I've enjoyed those moments growing from friends to brothers, I've enjoyed more watching him overcome personal and professional traumas to become who he is today. His journey is amazing, and I have the utmost respect for it, and for him.

Jay Harris, Anchor at ESPN
