In his book, Rice, a 13-time All-Pro, three-time Super Bowl champion, and “Dancing with the Stars” finalist, shares with readers the life practices he’s employed both on and off the football field to win games, the respect of players, and the love of fans.
Rice uses his football highlights, triumphs, and debacles to illustrate how ambition and humility have been instrumental in all facets of his success.
