"When I played with the San Francisco 49ers, one of our team mantras was 'one-heartbeat.' We used it as a way to come together as a team and know that we were ready to meet whatever we might encounter on the football field. I was reminded of that saying as I read Grant Parr's excellent book and encountered his advice for how we can, as team and as individuals, rise up to meet the unexpected."
