NEW YORK—January 23, 2018—Morgan James’s new release, Proven Player: The Instruction Manual to Building Character in Sports and Life by John Powell, provides a guide for developing a strong character based on principles derived from athletics. Powell demonstrates how sportsmanship extends into all aspects in life, drawing from his own experiences both on and off the field.
In sports and in life in general, people often feel the need to prove themselves. They have an inherent need to demonstrate their worth, whether that be in skill or in character. After years of involvement in sports as a part of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, John Powell believes that athletics is one of the best ways to establish the qualities of a strong character and develop healthy habits. It is this belief that drove him to develop his Proven Player model. This model brought success to the Ole Miss Football program as they embarked on a 9-3 season and a Peach Bowl invite in 2014, and now Powell has made it available for teachers and coaches everywhere in Proven Player: The Instruction Manual to Building Character in Sports and Life.
This easy to follow guidebook is broken down into 12 daily or weekly lessons to reinforce the principles found in each step of the Proven Player method. Passion, resilience, persistence, networking, and leadership are just a few of the qualities that Proven Player strives to engrain in its readers. When life brings struggles and adversity, these are the qualities needed to overcome and thrive, and ultimately to prove oneself. John Powell leads readers to challenge themselves and empowers them to establish a stronger character in Proven Player: The Instruction Manual to Building Character in Sports and Life.
