The Bounce and The Echo is a heartfelt, honest memoir enriched by the enthralling history of the sport of basketball, from its inception unto its current state. It is the story of a former pro basketball player's attempt to discover himself anew while on a venture to find peace with a game he so desperately wanted to love. In this memoir, Ian speaks on very relatable and important mental health concerns, and takes aim at stigmas about mental health that all-too often permeate all sports.
