Bob Delaney

Bob Delaney's life story has been told in his two books—Covert: My Years Infiltrating the Mob (named one of USA Today's Best Books of 2008)and Surviving the Shadows: A Journey of Hope into Post-Traumatic Stress—as well as on HBO Real Sports, ESPN, ABC Sports, CNN and numerous other TV, radio, and press media outlets.

He is the host of The Play—a docu-series directed by award-winning filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio—that explores issues of mind health, trauma, resiliency, and self-care, unified by the theme that not all wounds bleed. It has aired on NBA TV and Amazon.
