Sports as a Metaphor

This quote, in a nutshell, sums up exactly what From The End of The Bench is about.

"Sports remain a great metaphor for life's more difficult lessons. It was through athletics that many of us first came to understand that fear can be tamed; that on a team the whole is more than the sum of its parts; and that the ability to be heroic lies, to a surprising degree, within." -Susan Casey (author and speaker)
