Self-Help | Non-Fiction Memoir
Doctors removed Jake Olson’s left eye at ten months old.
When he was twelve, after years of radiation and
chemotherapy, the cancer took his right eye as well. That’s
when Jake’s story really began. When ESPN met Jake Olson, he was a twelve-year-old boy who
wanted to spend his final weeks of sight with the USC
football team. Jake’s story became one of the most
recognized pieces in the network’s history, earning an
award, instantly viewed by hundreds of thousands of people
worldwide. But Jake’s story didn’t end with his final
surgery or with ESPN—not by a long shot. Now sixteen, Jake Olson dreams of becoming the first blind
golfer in the PGA. How is such a thing even possible? How
does that level of perseverance endure in someone with so
many reasons to give up? In Open Your Eyes, Jake Olson tells more than his story. He
reveals the ways of thinking, living, and praying that have
kept him and his family triumphant in the face of their
tribulations. Told with sincerity and humor in tandem with
leadership coach McKay Christensen, Open Your Eyes is not
just a heartwarming chronicle of the Olson family’s
struggle. Jake’s story is a step-by-step lesson in
perseverance and motivation from a young man who knows how
to put the past in the past.
From the USC locker room to the fairways of Pebble Beach,
Jake Olson will inspire you, your family, and your team with
bravery, ability, and faith. It is time to learn from this
remarkable young man and open your eyes to a happier life.
