Отрывок из книги
“Occasionally, a book comes along that really impacts you and really makes you think, feel, and want to act differently going forward. This book is a roadmap for how we can progress towards healing, unity, and overcoming the ugliness that is racism. West and Mackey are onto something here, and we should all pay attention because the current game plan isn't working.”
—Rhett Power, Forbes columnist

The Locker Room is a story about the importance of great character and a challenge to never let your talent outrun your character. But most of all, The Locker Room is a story about the power that each one of us has to make a difference in our own Locker Room, when we choose to give our best for the best of someone else.
Of course, you don't have to be an athlete, or former athlete, for this story to impact you. You just have to be willing to listen.
