Description

A powerful story for the young men and young women you’re raising, guiding, or cheering on.

Every woman who loves a teen boy or girl knows how important it is for them to have examples of strength, discipline, and purpose.
This book follows an energetic, intelligent young man of color as he decides that his middle and high school years won’t just “happen to him”—he’s going to make them count.

While many talk about becoming a champion, he chooses to rise to the challenge.
His secret? A plan shaped by four core principles: Commitment, Ownership, Sacrifice, and Tenacity—the COST of becoming the best version of yourself.

As he grows through wins, setbacks, and life lessons, readers see what resilience really looks like and how powerful it is when a young person believes in themselves.
