It was written when we could still be sincere and trusting and we lacked our now strong ability to always expect the ironic or sarcastic punchline. Winners Never Quit was written in the days before steroid scandals and all the other kinds of cheating we often see today in sports. Who’s a winner? Who’s a loser? Who can trust anything or anyone when everything is questioned and distrusted?įerret out the people who’d steal and lie and cheat to achieve their goal…and then remove them from your path!ĭon’t let anyone set your destiny on an alternate and less satisfying path! That being said…what’s going on with the world these days? Women do persevere, too…right? But…I digress.) (“Guys in the book…”? I just realized that this book was only about the guys in the book! I guess that Phil Pepe wrote it for guys….but these days we’d have persevering men and women in a book like this. I was a “winner”…just like all the guys in the book. I’d run….throw….tackle…and think, even if my results weren’t “world-class”…even for an 11-year-old…that “winners never quit”…and I’d persevere. Published in 1970, it was a book about different athletes who persevered over an assortment of obstacles and succeeded in their various sports. I had a book when I was younger called “Winners Never Quit”.
