Product Description
Mark Shepherd (a Five Time Gold Medalist in Wheelchair Basketball), Ted Henter (a Seven-Time National and One-Time World Blind Water Skiing Champion), Mike Hudson (a National Champion - One Arm Golfer), Bonnie St. John Deane (an Elite Disabled Snow Skier) who skis on one leg, and Tony Volpentest (a Two-Time Paralympic World Record Holder in the 100 and 200 Meters) who runs on prosthetic legs and feet, are but five of the ten world class athletes showcased in this book. The character and essence of these remarkable individuals include courage, hard work, dedication, and commitment in confronting many of life?s Ultimate Challenges, not just in the gym, on the practice field, or in the arena, but every day, all day. To honor them, Dr. Emener is donating all of his royalties from the sale of this book to the United States Olympic Committee for the exclusive support of United States Paralympians.

Heroism Captured! October 8, 2002
Dr. Emener has successfully defined 'heroism' in presenting these vignettes of athletes who have overcome tremendous hurdles. Need a huge shot of inspiration? Then this is a 'must read'! You'll move through your everyday problems with less whining, for sure.
Real Athletes! September 18, 2002
This book is a timely example of what a true athlete is. With what is going on in the so called "real world of sports", with players in baseball, football, basketball, golf and so on asking for and receiving more money than ever before, putting the fan completely out of reach with their ability to attend or even take part in the sport, you have Dr. Emener's book, showing us a different light. Ultimate Challenges shows us what kind of courage and dedication it takes to be an athlete, the Ultimate Athlete. It is also heart warming to know that Dr. Emener is donating the royalties of this book to the United State Olympic Committee. Just one more reason to buy this book and support these athlete's who have no real corporate sponsorship, unfortunately.
