I've read a lot of books about sports over the years and am thrilled to recommendKentucky Passion: Wildcat Wisdom and Inspiration to anyone who loves Kentucky, all sports fans, or anyone prepared for a book that will challenge you in a practical way. What makes Del Duduit and Dr. John Huang's work so unique is it really brings sports back home and centers them in a place that has relevance to who we are and want to be. In our overly active lives it's easy to lose sight of what really matters and this book is all about that.- Justin Rowland, publisher of Cats Illustrated
