“The only things that are going to change you from where you are today and where you are going to be five years from now are the people you meet and the books you read.”
– Lou Holtz, 2-Time National Coach of the Year
If you’re looking for gift ideas this holiday season, I encourage you to consider giving Sports for the Soul books to any friends, family, or team members who may be looking for some renewed motivation to start the new year.
I believe motivational books make the best gifts because they can have such a lasting impact.
The right books can truly change a person’s outlook on life.
As I mention often, what you fill your mind with today determines the person you become tomorrow.
If you fill your mind with positive and motivational material, you’ll become a more positive and motivated person. On the other hand, if you fill your mind with negative and cynical material, that’s the type of person you will become.
Like everything else in life, it comes down to a choice. YOU get to choose what you fill your mind with.
The most effective way to choose a more positive mindset is by choosing the right books to read. [continue reading…]

Saquon Barkley talks about VICTORY FAVORS THE FEARLESS by Darrin Donnelly.
Last week at training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, two-time Pro Bowl running back Saquon Barkley was overheard asking quarterback Jalen Hurts if he thought he was “fearless.”
Hurts replied, “Absolutely.” And the two had a brief discussion about why he felt this way.
In an interview with the media on Monday, Barkley was asked why he asked Hurts about being fearless.
Barkley said it was because he recently read and liked the book, Victory Favors the Fearless: How to Defeat the 7 Fears that Hold You Back.
I was excited to hear Saquon Barkley had read my book and that it was shaping his mindset heading into this football season. [continue reading…]
