Stand Your Ground - Paperback

by Joel Penton (Author), Shannah Hogue (Editor)

In high school your friends are everything. You go to the football games together. Listen to music together. Deal with life, love and cafeteria food together. You're like family. But what happens when the people who used to have your back suddenly turn their backs on you? What happens when your best friends, the ones you can't live without, turn the entire school against you? What happens when it seems like you're the only one left who is trying to do what's right? Joel Penton lived this nightmare. But he also lived the dream that followed - a college football scholarship, a National Championship, the girl of his dreams, and oh, by the way, a new group of friends who really have his back. Is there something special about Joel? Not really. He is just an ordinary guy from a small town in Ohio. So how did he do it? That's what this book is about. The secret to Joel's success. And get this - it's something you can do, too. Like Joel, you can succeed. You can be different. You can do something significant in life. You can truly set yourself apart from the rest if you learn to do one simple thing: Stand Your Ground.
