From Athlete to Author

Chasing Fire is my story, but it’s also every athlete’s story. It’s about what happens when the crowd fades, your identity cracks, and purpose feels out of reach. This book is for the athlete who’s lost, the one who’s tired, and the one who's ready to rise again.

Chasing Fire

By: Cortni Emanuel

“Bold women of God aren’t made in comfort zones, but surrendering in the refiners fire”

-Ashley Morgan Jackson

There is a fire inside each and every one of us; that fire is the passionate driving force that pushes us towards success. Many times as athletes, one’s true purpose and identity is hidden by the season of success we experience in our sport. When our sport is over, the applauses quiet down, and the accolades stop coming in. Our identity now has to be transformed as we try to blend into “normal life”.

How can you use the same fire that fueled you in your sport in your newfound life after sports? How do you discover your true identity as a person with a piece of you, as you once knew it, missing? How do I grow my relationship with God as I’m growing through a transition phase in life? If these are the thoughts that you are having, You are not alone.

In this book, I share my journey as an athlete and the challenges I faced as I transitioned to life after sports as I searched for my identity and purpose.

This book will help you:

Find the fire that drives you to success;

Discover your true purpose and identity;

Love yourself through the ebbs and flows of life;

Learn how to overcome fear;

Be inspired by the word of God.
