For the past few weeks, there has been one topic of discussion that has taken over television talk shows, social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter, and conversations between friends – the Super Bowl of course! What other sporting events have been big topics of conversation this year? The Olympics, which start this week and the World Cup coming up this summer. Sports are very important to so many people in the world. Do you play sports or know somebody that does? Here at P&R we have a book written specifically for athletes. According to the author, Shawn Brower, “In the book, The Huddle, which is specifically written for athletes, my intentional focus is to prepare athletes to be successful in their sport, and then how to apply those lessons learned in athletics to all of life.”
