One bad break can change everything…
About Author
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Barry Minnett Jr. is a father, husband, and storyteller from the Midwest whose life has been shaped by struggle, soul, and second chances.
After losing both parents and battling his own demons, Barry turned inward-finding strength through family, and a renewed sense of purpose. From his breakdown to breakthrough laid the foundation for this book-not just to tell a story, but to heal through it.
What started as therapy became testimony.
What started as pain became purpose.
Today, Barry uses his voice to reach anyone who’s been counted out, beat down, or quietly holding on. His mission is simple:
Tell the truth. Leave nothing out. And remind people it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
One bad break can change everything…
From hoops dreams to hard lessons, One Bad Break is the raw, inspiring journey of a boy chasing greatness, a man facing consequences, and a father determined to lead by example. Candid, gritty, and full of heart—this isn’t just a story about basketball. It’s about life, choices, and redemption.
