"It has been an honor for me to partner with Jody Hill in this book on Christian leadership. I believe that our work together will help other people grow into a deeper sense of joy." -Tim Elko It was a life-defining moment for Tim Elko. One minute, he was a healthy young man, sprinting towards first base and towards the likelihood of a professional baseball career. Before the umpire could even call him safe, he wasn't. He felt his leg muscles rip almost at the same moment as he felt his certain future ripping at the seams. In a compelling story of what you do when the unthinkable happens, Jody Hill shares the true-to-life story of baseball player Tim Elko. Elko's time at Ole Miss contained great adversity and produced an Oxford legend. His is a story of overcoming that will live long in the hearts of baseball fans everywhere. Join us on a journey of defeat and championship, of loss and big wins, of slaying giants. Lean in close as Elko shares what kept him anchored through it all and about how to be a leader on and off the field. Learn practical ways of putting these habits into daily practice, so that you, too, can be an overcomer through the curveballs of life.
