As the Dallas Cowboys gear up for the highly anticipated 2025 NFL season, kicker Brandon Aubrey is making headlines — not for his performance on the field, but for a heartwarming off-the-field project that’s touching lives beyond the stadium. Aubrey has just announced the release of his first-ever children’s book, offering young readers a positive, inspiring story rooted in perseverance, kindness, and dreams.
“My inspiration for writing comes from the kids who look up to us, from my own childhood, and from wanting to give something real back to the next generation,” Aubrey shared during a press interview.
A Touchdown for Young Readers
The book, titled “Kicking Big Dreams”, follows the story of a young boy who overcomes fear and self-doubt through determination, family support, and belief in himself. It’s a theme that resonates deeply with Aubrey’s own journey — from professional soccer player to NFL kicker, and now, published author.
Illustrated with vibrant colors and packed with positive life lessons, the book is already gaining attention in schools and libraries across Texas. Local educators and parents have praised the book for its relatable message and motivational tone.
“It’s more than just a sports story. It’s about resilience, humility, and believing in yourself — qualities every child should learn,” said one Dallas elementary school teacher.
Cowboys Fans Show Their Support
News of the book’s release has been met with overwhelming support from Cowboys Nation, with fans taking to social media to congratulate Aubrey and share photos of their kids reading the book.
Some comments online include:
-
“Love seeing our players make a difference off the field too!”
-
“Got my copy today — my son is already inspired.”

“From kicking field goals to kicking off young minds — respect!”

This isn’t just a side project for Brandon Aubrey — it’s a mission. The Cowboys kicker is already working with schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to host reading events, donate copies, and speak directly to students about chasing their dreams.
He’s also partnering with local nonprofits to ensure children in underserved communities have access to the book, reinforcing his belief that every child deserves encouragement and inspiration.
“If even one kid believes in themselves more after reading my story, it’s all worth it,” Aubrey said.
A Winning Season On and Off the Field?
