Biography & Author's Journey
Lewis Howes grew up in Delaware, Ohio, where he has said he felt awkward, was bullied, and spent time in special-needs classes before channeling much of his identity into sports. He studied sports management at Principia College, where he set an NCAA single-game receiving record and became a two-sport All-American, and he later earned All-American recognition as a receiver at Capital University. A defining rupture came on October 11, 2001, when his father was seriously injured in a car accident and left in a coma. Another came after a career-ending football injury, which sent Howes into a period of depression and financial instability while living on his sister’s couch. ((https://lewishowes.com/about/))
