…as for the sixth man it helped me understand tenacity and how no matter my abilities i have been blessed with a gift and i should use it to glorify God 100% of the time

“For me, the 6ixth Man approach helped me to question my motives for playing basketball. I had to submit to the truth that most of the the time I was playing for myself and not for God. I learned that every minute that I have spent on the court was a blessing from God and that I should use my time to glorify Him.
The 6ixth Man approach also taught me how my mindset and attitude off the court can easily effect the way I play and how I treat my teammates. I think going through the book and really analyzing how we should think as athletes helped me grow with my walk with God and with being more honest with myself.”

“The 6ixth Man is a timely and must-read book. It’s filled with great stories and tells what sports can do for any person willing to look in the mirror and challenge themselves. Yet, it does more than just testifying, it is a guidebook and workbook offering a blueprint for developing the right mindset, character, and work ethic. It is an inspired work that can’t help but to inspire people to become better persons and athletes.”
- SCOTT N. BROOKS, author of Black Men Can’t Shoot
Asst. Professor of Sociology at the UC Riverside.
“An inspiration for anyone who has ever had a dream about attaining something larger than themselves. The 6ixth Man is a touching journey of one man’s success by the loss of a dream and the rebirth of another. A must read.”
