Bouncing Back tells the inspiring journey of Tony Solin — a man whose life is defined by resilience, reinvention, and relentless passion. From a childhood marked by tragedy and hardship, including the loss of both parents by his early teens, Tony found strength in the ocean's depths and on the football field. Despite early setbacks, including a brief prison sentence at 17 and a challenging start to his football career, Tony's determination propelled him to three premierships with Swan Districts, state representation, and respected leadership roles both on and off the field.

This story chronicles his rise from a young player dismissed early in his career to a celebrated WAFL star and coach. It reveals how Tony's coaching philosophy shaped future leaders and how he pioneered player welfare in the AFL, forever impacting the sport beyond his playing days. Beyond football, Tony's journey includes a career in education, business, politics, and community leadership, where he transformed organizations and advocated for regional healthcare.

Faced with a serious autoimmune disease, Tony embraced a life-changing commitment to health and fitness, embodying his mantra: "Sometimes you just need to play a poor hand well." Through triumphs and trials, Bouncing Back is a testament to the power of positivity, perseverance, and the belief that no setback is final. Tony Solin's story will inspire anyone striving to overcome adversity and find purpose in life's unexpected turns.
