Life Changing and Eye Opening.
This book will radically reconstruct the blueprint we have adopted for our current student-athletes. As a mom of four competitive athletes, I applauded every word with the desire they are tethered to a authentic and genuine faith while they pursue their dreams. Pat Combs offers insight and practical advice on reclaiming the hearts of our children while nurturing their God-given talents. Through personal experiences, he challenges the fallacy of “win at all costs,” and creates a new paradigm of faith, family and competition. Beautifully written.

Pretty good read. Some contradictive stories but overall I got something from it.
