I read a book as a child that changed my life forever. The book was, "Winners Never Quit" by Phil Pepe published in 1968. It was a book written for men. It was a book about being mentally and physically tough--with grit, courage, and determination. Vince Lombardi wrote the foreward and introduction which was too good not to share. As our youth suffer today, many without sports and in-person learning, let us look back on history...the importance or reading a book for inspiration and playing sports is difficult to quantitate, yet we know for sure--both are important.
