Joe shares compelling success stories and an Athlete's roadmap that illustrates what it takes to play at the High School, College and Professional level. Some of these athletes were overlooked and cut in high school and after Joe coached and mentored them, they went on to play Division 1 college baseball and were drafted and signed to a professional contract by Major League Baseball teams.
Joe wrote this book from his forty years of sports experiences, playing and excelling in baseball, basketball, football, softball, tennis, and coaching and founding the Freedom Pro Baseball Minor League in Arizona to help athletes and their parents understand what it takes to be successful in sports. Also, the proper coaching, instruction, and knowledge to advance to the next level and play sports in high school, college and professionally.
"If you are the parent of a promising athlete, a college athlete, or are an athlete with aspirations of becoming a professional at your chosen sport, this book is a must. Goals, injuries, burnout, internal or parental pressure, coaching, and even the fun of playing are all addressed in this wise and valuable book."
"Too often much is lost in the effort to succeed. Too often potential is lost when a player is not guided correctly or coached intelligently. In this book, Joe Sperle tells how to skip over these pitfalls and move forward in whatever game or sport a person wishes to participate. It takes a masterful coach with years of coaching experience to do just that. Joe Sperle is such a coach!"

You need to define success for yourself. It is money, fame or making a difference in the world by helping people. A champion is someone who we fight and speak for another person who cannot do it for themselves. It can also be someone who is better than others in a sport or skill. Joe has used his tragedies and turned them into triumphs. You will see many of Joe's attributes (teacher, leader, communicator, problem solver, motivator and competitor ) in this book that Joe has used to ( most importantly ) HELP OTHERS!"
