This is a gift book from Hallmark.
Back Cover:
Truly Outstanding athletic achievements, once seen, are seldom forgotten. They are not just the triumphant victories, but also the gestures of sportsmanship and the powers of personal courage, determination, self-sacrifice, team effort, and just plain grit that drive athletes, win or lose, to rise above ordinary levels of performance. Denver Broncos' astounding comeback drive against Cleveland for the 1987 AFC Championship, Mary Lou Retton's perfect 10 at the 1984 Olympics, speed skater Dan Jansen's faith and fortitude in overcoming repeated disappointments, Jackie Robinson's courage and composure during his first season as Major League Baseball's first African American player- in these and many other accounts, Steve Riach describes and applauds strength of character.
