FAF: Through Fire:
Faf is the ‘real deal’ as a captain, leading with a unique gamut of head, heart and backbone. – Paddy Upton
Natural leader Australia’s nemesis … one of SA’s most charismatic players. – Daniel Gallan
This is not a book about cricket. It is the story of a man who just happened to play cricket at the highest level.
Through Fire is at times a brutally honest and always fascinating work of introspection and critique that provides readers with unrestricted insight into the mind and heart of one of South Africa’s most interesting and charismatic national captains.
There is the public persona of the tattooed, fashionable, mentally tough, immensely popular and yet at times, misunderstood Du Plessis. And then there is the authentic Faf.
Du Plessis reflects on his growth from being a youth with a questionable moral compass outside of cricket, to becoming a leader known for his integrity, values, honesty, and empathy for his teammates and country. He reflects on how influential leaders such as Gary Kirsten, Stephen Fleming, Mohammed Moosajee, Russell Domingo, Ottis Gibson, and MS Dhoni moulded him as a man who leads with grit, purpose, and a love of people. But he also explores destructive relationships, providing his perspective, in devastating detail, on his final years of international cricket. Neither the changing room nor the boardroom is ever off limits.
Through Fire is a no-holds-barred autobiography offering exceptional insight into the core being of an elite sports personality.
All In! The Atlantic SUP Crossing, 93 Days Alone At Sea:
If you want to be great, do great things and be remembered, you have to be prepared to go all in for what you believe in, to risk it all and give it all you got.
It’s that simple!
What would you put on the line for what you believe in?
For Chris Bertish, the answer is everything. ALL IN!
In 2017 Chris became the first person ever to SUP across any ocean. Defying all odds, he paddled 7500 kilometres solo, unassisted and unsupported, for 93 days across the Atlantic Ocean, from Morocco, Africa to Antigua in the Caribbean.
During three months at sea he was targeted by a great white shark, towed by a giant sea squid, capsized multiple times and surfed down 10-meter waves as challenging as anything he had faced in any of Mavericks Big Wave Surfing Championships.
Too many times he found himself hanging on the edge of his modified SUP for dear life. He also become one with the elements, and ultimately succeeded to do something everyone said was simply impossible.
This is the story of his incredible journey. This book will widen your horizons and your perceptions of your possible.
Chris Bertish is a Big Wave Surfing Mavericks Champion, Stand-up Paddleboarding Guinness World Record Holder, Speaker, Conservationist and Ocean Pioneer.
Chris's philosophy is one of positive change: starting with ourselves we can all make a difference, make an impact on others and the world around us, when we show up at our best, strive to be better, each and every day in some small way and we’re all capable of living our greatest potential when we go “All In” for what we believe in! He shares this message in all his public talks and appearances globally.
