Produktbeschreibung

Bouncing Back tells the inspiring journey of Tony Solin - a man whose life is defined by resilience, reinvention, and relentless passion. From a childhood marked by tragedy and hardship, including the loss of both parents by his early teens, Tony found strength in the ocean's depths and on the football field. Despite early setbacks, including a brief prison sentence at 17 and a challenging start to his football career, Tony's determination propelled him to three premierships with Swan Districts, state representation, and respected leadership roles both on and off the field.

This story chronicles his rise from a young player dismissed early in his career to a celebrated WAFL star and coach. It reveals how Tony's coaching philosophy shaped future leaders and how he pioneered player welfare in the AFL, forever impacting the sport beyond his playing days. Beyond football, Tony's journey includes a career in education, business, politics, and community leadership, where he transformed organizations and advocated for regional healthcare.

Faced with a serious autoimmune disease, Tony embraced a life-changing commitment to health and fitness, embodying his mantra: "Sometimes you just need to play a poor hand well." Through triumphs and trials, Bouncing Back is a testament to the power of positivity, perseverance, and the belief that no setback is final. Tony Solin's story will inspire anyone striving to overcome adversity and find purpose in life's unexpected turns.

Autorenporträt

About the Author

It might be said that the expression "Jack of all trades and master of none" is an apt description of Peter J Snow OAM.

He abandoned pursuit of an engineering degree and accounting qualifications but his efforts will leave an extraordinary legacy.

He attributes this to the training, skills and self-confidence he gained through membership of JCI (formerly known as Jaycees International) after joining Fremantle Jaycees in 1970.

Obstacles encountered dented (but certainly not overwhelmed) his positive approach and desire to help and mentor others. His vision, entrepreneurial skills and contribution to his community over 70+ years (some of which are referred to in this book) have resulted in a myriad of awards.

International awards for programs developed or overseen by him include: national public relations; awards; fundraising; group collaboration; commercial education; and assistance to the handicapped.

Personal awards include: Voluntary Contribution to Western Australian Heritage; Honorary Tarheel of North Carolina; a Paul Harris fellowship from Rotary; and Community Torchbearer for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

In addition to being recognised as Outstanding Senator of JCI, Outstanding National Officer and one of the World's Inspiring Jaycees, he was Australian Jaycees (JCIA) first Ambassador in Western Australia and one of the state's Five Outstanding Young Australians.

Along with a JCI Senatorship, he holds life memberships of 8 community or sporting organisations and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the Australian community. In 2025 he was awarded Life Membership of JCIA.
