Best-selling author, Dr. Joe Hoedel, spent five years carefully researching these role models and highlighting their stories within these books. Many of these chapters cover sports heroes like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Michael Phelps, Wayne Gretzky, and Jackie Robinson. These books also include 16 legendary coaches like John Wooden, Pat Summitt, Dan Gable, Herb Brooks, and Coach K. Other chapters are of less-known, yet equally inspiring human-interest stories that you can’t believe really happened. For example, Erik Weihenmayer, a blind mountain climber who has climbed the highest peaks on all 7 continents; Pete Frates, the man who started the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and Richard Norris Williams, who survived the Titanic and went on to win US Open and Wimbledon championships.
