Powerful Lessons Sports Shorts is a collection of short stories penned by J. H. Holland, author of Link and DSI: Diddly Squat Investigation. His creative imagination and realistic approach to each sport come from his own experiences. Dr. Holland competed in each of the various sports, and developed an appreciation for the life lessons attributed to the world of athletics. He originally shared these stories with his own children as they were growing up, to encourage them to apply themselves and to find joy in competition. An individual's triumphs are found in the energy it takes to compete, and the rewards are one's personal achievements. It is the author's hope that as you and your family read these stories, you will not only be entertained, but also discover connections with the characters as they come alive on the page.
