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.
