An excellent combination of biblical truth and practical insights on how to maximize your performace on and off the field, developing the deep character issues that will benefit you all the days of your life. -- Rod Handley Founder and President, Character That Counts

"Building championship-caliber teams is no easy task. Dr. Brower has not only accomplished this as a coach, he has now articulated the key principles and practices in this book. Every coach and athlete at every level would benefit from this thorough, thoughtful, and practical reflection of what it really means to be a champion. Dr. Brower conveys the transcendent cause for athletics and elevates the eternal trophies above the applause gained from personal and team success.--Larry Taylor, President, Prestonwood Christian Academy, Plano, Texas Coaches possess a tremendous amount of influence. Billy Graham even said that a coach can have a greater influence on the life of a young person, in just one season, than many can in a lifetime. Shawn Brower has had that kind of influence on the lives of the young men he has coached for almost two decades. A hugely successful coach, Brower has earned National Coach of the Year honors twice, as well as Coach of the Year honors in two states over multiple years. Yet with all his success on the field, it is his godly influence and impact on the lives of his student athletes that has resulted in a multitude of champions in the game of life! Now Brower combines those lessons, biblical applications, and illustrations from some of today's great coaches and athletes in his new book The Huddle. Coaches, athletes, and teams at every level need this practical guide to use as a playbook in helping them grow and develop relationship bonds, championship attitudes and actions based on biblical principles, and a rock-solid spiritual foundation that will help them win in life. This is a book I will use with my teams, athletes, and assistant coaches!--Roy Heintz, Women's Basketball Coach, University of Alabama in Huntsville; Former Chaplain of Orlando Magic For many of us, one of our greatest privileges is to represent a team in a united cause. In reading The Huddle, you will find that its lessons don't just apply to the pursuit of winning trophies, but more importantly assist us through the journey of life.--Gary Kirsten, Cricket World Cup Winner as Coach of the Indian National Team For many years I have challenged teams to pursue character above the ""almighty win."" Coaches and athletes aren't defined by the scoreboard; they are known by what occurs deep in their souls. Shawn's book provides an excellent combination of biblical truth and practical insights on how to maximize your performance on and off the field, developing the deep character issues that will benefit you all the days of your life.--Rod Handley, Founder and President, Character That Counts I believe there is no higher compliment then saying that someone reflects Christ to those around them. This is what Coach does as a leader, principal, coach, father (to his kids and to me), friend, and follower of Christ. The way in which he lives with integrity, humility, and passion is infectious and points to Someone larger than himself. Coach shows me Jesus and has instilled a desire in me to follow Christ more fully. Praise the Lord for people such as Coach Brower. I would encourage everyone to read this book and live it out--it will lead people to the cross through its pages.--Roy Anderson, Former Captain, 2011 State Championship Team, Chattanooga Christian School, Chattanooga, Tennessee"
