Six years after I had been hit in the face with a baseball bat, flown to the hospital, and placed into a coma, I was selected as the top male athlete at Denison University and named to the ESPN Academic All-America Team —an honor given to just thirty-three players across the country.By the time I graduated, I was listed in the school record books in eight different categories.That same year, I was awarded the university’s highest academic honor, the President’s Medal.
I hope you’ll forgive me if this sounds boastful.To be honest, there was nothing legendary or historic about my athletic career.I never ended up playing professionally.However, looking back on those years, I believe I accomplished something just as rare: I fulfilled my potential.And I believe the concepts in this book can help you fulfill your potential as well.
