The Save of My Life

The Save of My Lifeaf Corey Hirsch
Bag om The Save of My Life

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER?NOW IN PAPERBACKA riveting look behind the mask of an NHL goalie, The Save of My Life offers understanding and hope to anyone living with mental illnessBy the time he was twenty-two years old, goaltender Corey Hirsch had realized his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, won an Olympic medal and drunk from the Stanley Cup. While he excelled on the ice, out of the net Hirsch was plagued by persistent dark thoughts. On days when he could barely get out of bed, he was able to push aside the endless loop of dark thoughts running inside his brain long enough to win a game. But as soon as he got back home, the agonizing cycle started all over again. And it continued, until finally he was able to confide in a team trainer who helped him get the professional treatment he needed. Diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Hirsch was able to embark on the rocky road to recovery. As one of the first professional athletes to talk openly about mental health, Hirsch wrote about his OCD for the Players' Tribune. His piece remains one of the site's most-read articles. As Hirsch says, ?I am not insane. I am not a bad person. I am not weak. I have an illness, and there is a treatment.?
