From the streets of Kraaifontein to the pinnacle of world rugby, Cheslin Kolbe: Sidestepping the Odds tells the remarkable story of one of South Africa's most inspiring sporting heroes. Repeatedly told he was too small to succeed, Kolbe refused to let others define his future, using determination, resilience and belief to become a double Rugby World Cup winner and one of the game's most electrifying players.

Written with award-winning journalist David O'Sullivan, this deeply personal memoir goes beyond the trophies to reveal the family, faith and community that shaped Kolbe's journey. An inspiring story of courage and perseverance, Sidestepping the Odds is a powerful reminder that your circumstances do not determine your destiny.
