Troy Aikman: Things Change
(From Press Release)
Dallas Cowboys quarterback
and three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman has written his
first book for children.
Titled Things Change (Taylor Publishing Company; April 1, 1995,
$14.95), its message is clear: use change to one's advantage and
view temporary setbacks as opportunities to grow in new and better
ways.
Using his own life as an example, Things Change illustrates how
unexpected events in Troy's life led him to opportunities that
have afforded him great success, and how embracing inevitable
change has brought him lasting friendships and professional recognition.
Aimed at children 8-12 years old, the book is 40 pages with 30
full-color illustrations and 25 photographs. All of Troy's proceeds
from the sale of the book will go to benefit the
Troy Aikman Foundation, a non-profit
organization benefiting disadvantaged children.
"In today's world, children face change constantly and need
to be prepared for it and able to adapt," says Troy. While
he is the main character in the book, Troy says, "...the
book is not so much about chronicling my life as it is about passing
along some of the life lessons I've learned along the way."
