The Upset: Life (Sports), Death...and the Legacy We Leave in the Middle
October 20, 2018, was just another normal Saturday in college football - or so it seemed. Amid all the matchups discussed on ESPN that day, it was a special video featuring the harrowing story of Tyler Trent - along with his bold, yet accurate, prediction that Purdue would upset Ohio State - that captured the hearts of millions. The Upset chronicles so much more than just an inspiring battle against the seemingly impossible opponent of osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. A brilliant young statistician and sportswriter, Tyler faced his own mortality, and his life reflects the remarkable eternal upset only experienced in faith, family, and authentic community.

A story of faith and determination to live life to the fullest no matter what the odds.
This is such an amazing book. Raw honestly of someone going though unimaginable bouts with Cancer. Tyler’s faith and determination is so inspiring. This book will make you think, laugh and cry like few will. I highly recommend and thank Tyler and his family for sharing this story.

Great book!
Wife really loved this book. Inspirational and honest in his dealing with life and coming death.
For my camper
This book is one-of-a-kind, like Tyler. He was in my camp cabin weeks before his first diagnosis. He had a sling on his arm and killed a high ropes course. I remember his love for others more than anything. That love came straight from Jesus, and I can tell he could not remain silent out of that same love. See you in heaven, Tyler.
