Review :
True Competitor is a very useful, practical field guide based upon fifty-two biblical principles that get one to "true north." This book is packed with practical wisdom and eternal truths.
Tom Osborne, former athletic director of the University of Nebraska, former twenty-five-year head coach of the Huskers, and author of More Than Winning
True Competitor encourages you to get wisdom, grow in wisdom, and give wisdom--to live life to the fullest and impact the world around you.
Leah Amico, three-time Olympic gold medalist
As competitors, our main goals are to praise God, live for Him, and please Him. This is what True Competitor is all about. It will transform you and your team.

From the Foreword:
If you are an athlete, coach, parent, or just someone who loves to watch sports, you need to manage, play, and walk with that kind of wisdom in every aspect of your life to be a winner on and off the field. What Dan Britton and Jimmy Page have written in True Competitor is not just a devotional but also a guide with fifty-two principles that can be not only game changers but life changers too. I was blessed as a young athlete not only with great coaches but also with a wise mom and dad who taught wisdom principles that are still making a difference in my life today. They not only taught those principles but also lived them out and modeled them every day. This book is a great blend of principles for mentoring, maturing, and managing your life for impact.

I can't say enough about the influence (positive or negative) people have on us. We usually become who we hang out with. Dan and Jimmy get this. True Competitor is a read you should check out.
