Acknowledgments

Thank you, first and foremost, to all of the men, women, and families of our United States military, past and present. Their unselfish service and sacrifice have allowed us the freedom to safely chase our dreams in this wonderful country and to seek to be winners in the game of life.

Thank you to all the coaches, players, and dear friends who have shared their lives with me for so many years. I have been so blessed to work with you and grow from your loving examples.

Thank you to Joe Malmisur, Andy Geiger, and Gene Smith, extraordinary athletic directors who have given me a chance to serve. To Mark Summers, who has been there for me, on and off the field, since we played together at B-W. And to Doc Spurgeon, who has taught so many people that love makes the difference if you truly want to serve.

Finally, thank you to all of the good people at Tyndale, especially Carol Traver and Chris Fabry, who encouraged me to share these lessons that have affected my life, in hopes that we can make a difference for others.
