Reviews"I am so glad to see that someone is addressing the need to help college student-athletes succeed. This is a great resource for anyone wishing to understand more about sports in general, but also those that wish to truly understand and decipher some of the challenges that our student-athletes face daily. It also serves as an amazing tool to guide our athletes to success on and off the playing field!" --Joseph Blair, former college and professional basketball player "Turrentine is a lifetime professional working with student athletes. She has put together a must read guide for those interested in providing their athletes with the knowledge and perspectives to get them on a path to success." --Dick Tomey, former head football coach, Hawaii University, Arizona University, San Jose State University "Champions in the Classroom will be life changing for your student-athletes. What a great way to make student-athletes feel comfortable in the classroom by showing them they already possess all the skills they need to make them an academic success. This book 'gets' it and will make a positive difference. It's written in a way that truly understands how an athlete thinks and how that can be crossed over to the classroom. Penny Turrentine has hit a grand slam, scored a game winning touchdown, made a game winning shot, and has scored a goal with this book." --Edgar Soto, executive director of Athletics, Pima Community College "In my forty plus years of Division 1 athletics, I have not met, or been associated with, a more dedicated, hardworking person in terms of helping students and student-athletes succeed." --Jim Rosborough, former associate head basketball coach, University of Arizona national champion basketball team
