They are individually and collectively, an outstanding representation of talent, commitment and spirit sure to inspire sports fans of all ages.

(from the dust jacket). Scandals about athletes are in the news every day: drug and alcohol addiction, gambling and point shaving, recruiting violations, cholarships for gifted athletes who can't read. This self-help guide -- for high school athletes, but of vital interest to parents and coaches -- leads young athletes to evaluate the realities and dangers of high school, college, and professional sport. It will help student-athletes avoid mistakes that can ruin lives as well as athletic careers, and will show how to win both on and off the field by preparing for a life beyond sports.
