Kevin Carroll

Abandoned by his father at three and then by his mother at six, Kevin Carroll was raised along with his two brothers by his grandparents. He found meaning and purpose in a little red ball.  Sport changed his life.  After being the chief athletic director for the Philadelphia 76ers, Kevin went to work for NIKE.  It was there he wrote and self-published his inspiring book, Rules of the Red Rubber Ball.  ESPN then bought the publishing rights to the book and Kevin set off around the world talking about the power of play and how sport can change lives.

Great book.  Great guy.  Great message.
