“With concrete exercises to take away long after reading this book, Biblical examples to keep you grounded, and personal stories every sports-parent can relate to, Kemerer knocks it out of the park with this how-to manual on surviving the Game On years!”
~ Susan L. Tuttle, Christian author and homeschooling sports mom of three
“Kemerer’s Game On is like a life-preserver for those who are drowning in the drama and stress of youth sports. From page one, Kemerer challenged me to examine why I had my kids in sports in the first place. She addressed the big lie that most parents believe about youth sports, and then she finished with practical strategies on how to extend life-preserving grace to everyone, even in the middle of the chaos. Whether your child is just beginning tee-ball or is swamped by the tidal wave of high school sports, Game On will give you the tools to celebrate their victories and guide them through their struggles by seeking God’s perspective through it all.”
~ Janice Boekhoff, author of Crevice and mom to three sports-addicted kids.
“As soon as I saw the Table of Contents for Game On, I breathed a sigh of relief. I’m not alone on this emotional rollercoaster of youth sports! As a sports mom and wife of a baseball coach, I see all sides of the game. And as a Christian, I face the challenge of letting my light shine in the midst of the stress.
This book addresses a plethora of scenarios with the perfect mix of Biblical truth, humor, empathy, data, and practical help. In Game On, Jill Kemerer comes alongside the reader as both a mentor and peer. Her honesty is refreshing, and her experience lends credibility to her advice.
More than anything, I appreciate the reminder that these seasons are a short snapshot in the grand scheme of our kids’ lives. All sides of the coin are presented, allowing each parent to hone in on their own goals for their own children, rather than getting caught up in the expectations of others.
No matter what stage of youth sports you find yourself in, this book is a breath of fresh air and a light for the journey!”
~ Sarah Forgrave, wellness coach and author of Prayers for Hope and Healing
