I’ve been covering sports for more than 40 years. I’ve covered high school, college and professional athletes and teams through the years, and I have many fond memories and relationships because of that.

But at times, it gets old to write about losing streaks and slumps. I get the most joy out of telling positive stories, especially helping people tell their own stories. More than half of my 28 books have been done on an “as told to” basis. This blog will be filled with positive stories, mostly told to me by the athletes and coaches themselves.

Some of these people will be familiar to you. Others you may not know much about. But if I accomplish my goal, you’ll be glad you know about them now. They may be people who have overcome obstacles to achieve greatness, or they’ve made the best of their God-given abilities. Either way, the world is better because of them in one way or another.

If you like positive stories, you’ll love this blog.
