About the Book

"PERRY BAKER STORY: From Gridiron Dreams to Rugby Sevens Stardom"This riveting biography chronicles the extraordinary journey of Perry Baker, a man who defied expectations and redefined American rugby. From the sun-soaked fields of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, to the international stages of rugby sevens, Baker's story is one of perseverance, adaptability, and blazing speed.
Step into Baker's early years, where his athletic prowess first emerged on the football fields and track circuits of Florida. Follow his pursuit of gridiron glory through college and a brief stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, before witnessing the pivotal moment when rugby sevens captured his imagination and changed the course of his athletic career.
With vivid detail and insider accounts, the book explores Baker's rapid ascent in the world of rugby sevens. Readers will feel the excitement of his debut for the USA Eagles, his breakout performances on the World Rugby Sevens Series, and the historic moment he was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year in 2017 - the first American to receive this prestigious honor.
But this is more than just a sports biography. It's a tale of cultural change, as Baker becomes the face of a growing rugby movement in the United States. The book delves into the challenges of promoting a niche sport in a country dominated by football, basketball, and baseball, and how Baker's electrifying plays and charismatic personality helped bridge that gap.
Readers will also gain insight into the physical and mental demands of elite rugby sevens. From grueling training regimens to the split-second decisions made on the pitch, the book offers a comprehensive look at what it takes to compete at the highest level of this intense, fast-paced sport.
The narrative doesn't shy away from the setbacks either. It candidly discusses Baker's injuries, the disappointments of near-misses in major tournaments, and the unprecedented challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Through it all, Baker's resilience and unwavering passion for the game shine through.
Featuring exclusive interviews with Baker, his teammates, coaches, and family members, this book provides a 360-degree view of the man behind the tries. It also includes analysis from rugby experts, offering context on Baker's impact on the tactical evolution of rugby sevens.
As the story builds towards Baker's Olympic experiences and his role in USA's rise in the world rankings, readers will find themselves invested in not just one man's journey, but in the growing narrative of American rugby on the global stage.
Packed with action-packed match descriptions, personal anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the world of professional rugby, "PERRY BAKER STORY" is a must-read for sports fans, aspiring athletes, and anyone who loves a tale of determination and success against the odds.
This meticulously researched and engagingly written biography isn't just the story of Perry Baker - it's a testament to the power of embracing new challenges, the importance of representation in sports, and the thrill of chasing a dream across an unconventional path. Whether you're a die-hard rugby fan or new to the sport, Baker's journey from gridiron dreams to rugby sevens stardom will inspire, educate, and entertain.
