THE FIGHT: A FOOTBALL LEGACY

The century-old Clemson and Carolina rivalry fiercely erupted fifteen years ago into the biggest fight of college football's history. In our podcast mini-series, we go behind the face-masks of the players on the field that day to share their stories of "the brawl to end them all."

Langston and Preston tackle another great story, this time it is a twist on the famous Chicken Little fable. Their second book in the series fires right along with #JustAchicken where the hero, CJ, must learn to fight and overcome the adversity within himself as well as the world around him.

"The roof is swaying, and young CJ thinks it has to do with a dreaded chicken curse that will destroy the coop! He rushes to warn his friends, but will he find some hidden strength along the way? Watch CJ as he learns that he can be more than #JustaChicken."

The goal of Langston, Preston, and their parent label, Athletes & Artists, is to share the many gifts that they have received through education and sports to support and empower the world around them. They firmly believe that we can all "Go Pro” if we leverage the power of the mind. And there is no better way to do this than through the power of books and educating yourself to think critically and problem-solve to win at the game of life.

$20.01

The story of you, the story of me, the story of USC!

#Justachicken delivers a contemporary perspective through the popular lens of sports to tell a timeless coming-of-age story. We witness our hero, Cocky, as a youngster on his journey to discover glory but soon realizes that the greatness he seeks unknowingly lies within him already. On his quest to win this trophy, Cocky gains something much more valuable - self-esteem and acceptance.

Written by two University of South Carolina Alumni and SEC Football Gamecocks, #Justachicken underscores what it means to be more than a skin tone or ethnicity, or in this specific tale, the colors of your feathers. The brilliant illustrations bring each SEC mascot to life while encouraging an ever-important dialog of confidence and self-acceptance.

#Justachicken is the first book of a trilogy, where the authors leverage their love and expertise of sports to connect and empower children of all ages.

WHY ARE WE?

A&A is a culture-centric brand that combines the power of sports and creativity to empower others. We believe that in order to achieve greatness, one must push beyond their confinements, not be afraid to fail and fall down, learn from their efforts and then get back up to make that next play in life. This is our "Why."

THE NEXT PLAY

Overcoming adversity is about living the winning mindset to get up and make that next play. Take a look at Langston Moore, and Preston Thorne, as they coach-up the next round of athletes and artists.
