ABOUT THE GRANT BRACE STORY PROJECT: 1.5 Million Views/ Inside Edition/ YouTube
Following a “punishment practice” workout, which came on the first day of practice for the 2020-21 season, Grant Brace complained of dehydration and later died from “exertional heat stroke” at age 20. Grant became “profoundly disoriented” after the difficult first day of practice at an area of the campus known as “Punishment Hill”. The university junior had been diagnosed with ADHD and narcolepsy, forcing him to take medications that require proper hydration, especially during exercise. The University coaches and administration were aware of these medical needs.
On the day of his death, Brace completed numerous sprints and then sat down out of exhaustion. After being told that he would be kicked off the team, he is said to have performed an additional run to the top of the hill. Suffering from heat stroke and despite his medical needs, all while being mocked by his coaches, he continually sprinted up and down steep hills multiple times. Coaches screamed at him after the team returned indoors and he fled the wrestling room. Grant searched for a large working water fountain to submerge himself in, but collapsed and died after finding the large campus water fountain had been closed and was dry for maintenance. Coaches found him about 2 hours later. Grant Brace died in August 2020. The University of the Cumberlands agreed to pay $14 million settlement.
The Brace family has partnered with Dr. Douglas Casa on the development of a heat illness awareness and safety protocol, the “B.R.A.C.E. Protocol,” which will be first implemented at the University of the Cumberlands this summer, and potentially beyond. Part of the settlement negotiated this specific term that the University would re-train all its athletic staff on this new B.R.A.C.E. Protocol in honor of Grant Brace.

Said writer collaborator Didi Gluck: “Through TGBSP Agent Alan Morell, I have had the true privilege of speaking with Jackie, Kyle and Kaylee Brace, and the family attorney Jamie Moncus. I’m so honored the family trusts me with this very important and moving story.”
Said Jackie Brace on behalf of the Brace family: “As a tribute to Grant, our family desired our beloved son and brother’s story to be told. Grant was a family man; he was a fierce competitor, an admirable teammate, spiritual, and genuine. He stood up against injustice, and he never hesitated to advocate for the truth. He worked hard, trained hard, loved hard, and never once met a stranger. Unfortunately, no one could have expected his life to be cut so short and in such a preventable way. By sharing Grant’s story, we hope to inspire others to reevaluate sports culture, educate themselves on exertional heat strokes, and, ultimately, we hope to save families from enduring a tragic fate similar to our own. The family is very comfortable with Didi, as we feel she is the right person to tell Grant’s story. We’re very pleased with the literary progress to date on the book proposal, through the coordination of our family agent Alan Morell at Creative Management Partners (CMP). Once the proposal is finished, Alan will be submitting it to nationally recognized publishers. Grant always wanted to make a positive impact on the worldto leave the world a better place than he found it. Through his tragedy, we, as his family, will never cease in helping him do so.”
Said Attorney for the family Jamie Moncus Esq.: “As a trial lawyer for the last twenty years, I’ve seen and been involved in more tragic cases than I care to remember, but it simply doesn’t happen often enough that a family chooses to continue to honor their lost love one in a way that will save lives for generations to come. It’s not easy to continue to tell Grant’s story, it’s quite painful, but the Brace family is courageous beyond measure, and I’m so proud of what they are doing in creating a legacy to honor Grant’s wonderful 20 years on this earth. He was taken much too quickly, but he accomplished so much in his time here, and he will now never be forgotten.
“My clients, The Grant Brace family, and I searched extensively for representation that Grant would be proud to have working on such sensitive issues. This led us, through multiple referrals, to Alan Morell and Creative Management Partners (CMP). Alan is highly respected within the literary and entertainment sectors, where he is known for his professionalism, negotiation skills, honesty, senior executive level industry relationships and the mindset to deliver success. There simply is no other partner we would have considered for this job, and we are delighted to embark on this journey with Alan and CMP.”
Said Agent Alan Morell: “Having worked with Didi Gluck for various client-authored books, and knowing her writing skills, personality, compassion, and reputation within literary circles, I felt Didi was the best fit for the Grant Brace family. I also feel that her magazine background supports our CMP publicity strategy to get the word out with targeted on-going stories about The Grant Brace Story Project, supporting the Book e.g. USA Today, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, NY Times, Washington Post and other national publications. This fits with our media strategy outreach and the book adaptation to feature film. Once the book proposal is completed, CMP’s agenda is to provide “First Look” to CMP A-List publishers we have worked with for over four decades/ bid out of the THE GRANT BRACE STORY PROJECT: A TRUE STORY AMERICAN TRAGEDY. We have lined up Emmy nominated screenwriters to adapt the book for feature film, and that talented writing team will be announced in August.”
