N2  - "Hard men fight back" tells the stories of 17 elite Kiwi athletes who triumphantly returned to play sport after enduring horrendous accidents, life-threatening illnesses or dire misfortune. While others might have succumbed, each of these men not only succeeded in beating the adversity, but used the experience as their central motivation in making their comeback. Their inspirational stories are a tribute to their strength of character, sheer willpower and unfailing self-belief
