Getting Undressed

2018 Winner of the Midwest Book Awards in the category Inspiration

At the age of 15, high school sophomore and basketball player David Cooks experienced a spinal aneurism, leaving him a T-6 paraplegic. Refusing to let the wheelchair determine the man, he made the decision to persevere from the very beginning-and he never let go of his passion for the game. In Getting Undressed, David describes his journey to independence and purpose, and how "getting undressed" for change can pose huge challenges, literally and figuratively.

A story of inspiration and motivation. David shares his struggles and successes on and off the court-with honesty, perseverance, and faith.
