By design, these three books include a mix of historical and contemporary sports figures, a healthy balance of men and women and include diversity in race, ethnicity, background, and perspective. Cumulatively, these chapters include role models participating in 26 distinct sports and cover many of the greatest sporting accomplishments of the last 100 years. There is something in these books for everyone!
We know that people can be inspired. In fact, people want to be inspired and need to be inspired. We should be able to look up to positive role models who inspire us to greatness. And sports stories should be a great avenue to inspire people. Unfortunately, the press likes to showcase athletes who have let us down. We know all about the athletes who cheated in sports or failed us with their immoral behavior. We have watched the apologies live on ESPN and followed the court cases on the Nightly News. Each story lowers the bar for each of us. Dr. Hoedel wrote these books to raise the bar back up. He presents the remarkable sports role models who can inspire you to greatness in your own life. To learn more about Dr. Hoedel’s app-based program designed to improve the character, leadership and sportsmanship of high school athletes, go to :
