<p>Read journalist Alan Snel's comeback after a distracted motorist nearly killed him while he bicycled in Florida in March 2017. The driver left him unresponsive, but Snel recovered and moved back to Las Vegas to start a news website that reported on the explosive growth in the sports industry of Las Vegas. Snel's return to Las Vegas coincided with the start-up of the NHL Vegas Golden Knights, the construction of a new NFL Raiders stadium and the launch of several other pro teams. Snel's passage of healing was sparked by the launch of his popular website -- LVSportsBiz.com, which was approaching 140,000 readers in November 2018. Snel found a renewed journalistic purpose of reporting the business side of Las Vegas' expanding sports industry, while returning to his beloved Red Rock Canyon outside Las Vegas where he bicycled again amid this inspiring natural setting. The return to Las Vegas, the launch of a feisty website covering Las Vegas' new teams and his bicycle rides in Red Rock Canyon served as a vehicle for his recovery and for his sense of purpose in wake of a violent crash caused by a distracted driver outside Fort Pierce, Fla. on March 7, 2017. Snel's LVSportsBiz.com documented the historic first season of the Vegas Golden Knights, an NHL expansion team that shattered all team records for success in a club's inaugural season. Snel captured the essence of a team that helped a city heal after 58 people were killed and more than 500 were injured in America's deadliest mass shooting on the world-famous Strip on Oct. 1, 2017.Snel's LVSportsBiz.com covered the sweet spot for news in Las Vegas by reporting on the intersection of business, sports, stadiums, politics, fan issues and economic development. There is a sports industry renaissance going on in Las Vegas and LVSportsBiz.com was launched to cover this dynamic time in Las Vegas history.But Snel's book is more than just about a website, a historic team and bike rides in Red Rock Canyon. He discusses how to cope with and overcome physical trauma, find a new purpose to move ahead in life and eventually discover affirmation after coming face-to-face with one's mortality. At its core, this is a book about dealing with trauma and about moving forward. You don't have to be a sports fan or a bicyclist to find relevance in this book. Anyone who has been knocked down -- or knocked out -- can learn a thing or two about coming back and enjoying a second lease on life.This book's message is simple -- if Snel can overcome a harsh trauma and adversity, so can you. Read how he did it.</p>
