Dear Black Boy

About this book

"No longer can they just roll us a ball and say good luck were more than athletes." Dear Black Boy is a letter of encouragement to all the brown-skinned boys around the world who feel like sports are all they have. It is a reminder that they are more than athletes more than a jersey number more than a great crossover or a forty-time that the biggest game that theyll ever play is the game of life and there are people rooting for them off of the courts and fields not as athletes but as future leaders of the world. The same things that make these boys great on whatever playing surface they choose are the same things that will propel them forward in life: mental toughness dedication passion determination and effort are all things that carry over into the game of life.
