About this listen

What does it take to overcome challenges, conquer fears, embrace leadership, harness mentor wisdom and achieve greatness—not just in sports, but in life? In Game Changers, Dan Gold presents the powerful stories of extraordinary athletes who defied the odds, broke barriers and achieved the seemingly impossible. Filled with electrifying moments, timeless lessons and practical tools, these stories inspire teens to unlock their potential and face challenges with courage, resilience and confidence.

Explore:

• Resilience: Tom Brady’s rise from underdog to NFL legend through relentless personal discipline.

• Goal-Setting: Michael Phelps’s focus in overcoming ADHD to win eight gold medals in one Olympics.

• Character-Building: Abby Wambach’s leadership at the 2011 Women’s World Cup and her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights.

• Overcoming Adversity: Serena Williams’s battle against racism and sexism, leading to 23 Grand Slam titles.

• Mental Toughness: Michael Jordan’s mastery of pressure and lessons learned from failure.

• Leadership: Jackie Robinson’s courage in shattering baseball and civil rights barriers.

• Diversity & Inclusion: “Queen Yuna” Kim’s global impact as South Korea’s figure skating icon and her advocacy for children and disaster relief.

Game Changers weaves these and over forty other inspiring stories into a rich tapestry of diverse perspectives on confidence, character and success. With creative comparisons of their journeys, the audiobook offers a nuanced understanding of essential life lessons. Enhanced with reflective prompts, interactive exercises and actionable steps at the end of each chapter, Game Changers empowers athletes, dreamers and anyone dedicated to personal growth to turn these lessons into their own playbook for success.

Wow! There's so many incredible sports people out there. It really is inspiring to hear their stories - how they've overcome adversity, where they came from, and the dedication it takes to reach the top. Some of them I'd heard of before, others were new to me. But all of them are amazing in their own right and it makes me want to be better.

Amazing heroes!

My kid loves audiobooks, and we saw this one, so we gave it a listen. We both absolutely loved it. It is inspiring to hear how others have overcome adversity in different aspects of their lives and persevered. My son was inspired and is now making and rushing his goals. I am so excited for his progress and determination. Thanks so much.
