Athletes as role models
Really enjoyed reading this book finishing it in one setting. Brought back memories of my youth when athletes were more often role models describing their struggles and accomplishments in an easy to read short story manner. As a father of four who were all interested in sports and as a coach, I wish I had this book to give to them to help them with the ups and downs they all had with sports and also in life. I hope this book becomes a valuable resource for parents and coaches.

A whetstone to sharpen the minds of young athletes
Game changers was a truly inspiring read. As a lifelong athlete now limping less than gracefully into my 60s I found the stories about athletes, their backgrounds their motivation their grit and resilience to be truly inspirational. This is a must read for any teens or preteens-both athletes and non-athletes. The messages with regard to character development and manifestation of ones goals should make excellent tools for honing the minds and futures of young athletes. Very strongly recommend this excellent book.
