New Book Co-Authored by Hunter Smith Discusses How Professional Athletes’ Behavior in and out of the Jersey Can Have Serious Implications on Sports Fans and Youth
BLOOMINGTON, IN. – Jan 25, 2012 – WestBow Press, the strategic self-publishing division of the world’s largest Christian publisher, Thomas Nelson, Inc., today announced it will be releasing the new book, “The Jersey Effect” to coincide with this year’s Super Bowl being held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Co-authored by retired Indianapolis Colts’ championship punter Hunter Smith and All Pro Dad Director Darrin Gray, “The Jersey Effect” uses real-life NFL stories from notable Indianapolis Colts figures to demonstrate that a player’s behavior both on and off the field can have profound effects on fans and young players.
In a recent WestBow Press interview with Smith, he talks about where the concept for “The Jersey Effect” originated and why he and co-author Darrin Gray felt so compelled to share it with the world. “We wanted to write a book that talked about the social responsibilities professional athletes take on when they choose to first put on that jersey, and how their choices and behaviors as a team member can have profound implications on the fans and young people that admire them and watch the sport,” said Smith.
