The Right Way to Win: How Athletes Can Place God First in Their Hearts

This is truly a great book for all athletes and young Christians. It gives insight on how to overcome obstacles athletes face, while doing so how Christians should. The book gives stories of many other athletes that have been through tough situations and how they overcame them. A great book indeed.

My son John, 10, and Megan, 14, enjoyed the life lessons and sports stories in The Right Way To Win. As a mom, I appreciate the author's focus on being your best -- both as an athlete and as a Christian. I'm recommending it to our youth minister for use in a Christian living series for youth and parents.

This is a great resource for personal devotion or as a conversation starter for young people and for their parents. Mike Blaylock provides a formula for the "right way to win", equipping young people with principles to strive to do their best and to be what God would have them be rather than seeking only to win for the sake of winning. I appreciated the section on "dispelling the myths" and his suggestions for "real success prayers". This would be a good resource for a Sunday School class and would make a good gift for a student athlete.
