PRAY BALL 2!! Spiritual Insights Into Sportsmanship is the second book in the PRAY BALL! series and is the first in a series of books that each highlight a specific, key value in the world of sports, and provides valuable lessons from Jewish tradition and history about this value. Divided into 30 easy-to-read chapters, the book explores such topics (1) Rabbi Gordon’s Four Levels of Sportsmanship; (2) Enforcing Sportsmanship; (3) The Causes of and How to Prevent Bad Sportsmanship; and (4) Sportsmanship Awards and Inspirational Quotes. Sports figures used to illustrate (positive) aspects of sportsmanship (more than 150), Michael Jordan, Bill Walton, Coach John Wooden, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle/Roger Maris, Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, sisters Serena and Venus Williams, and collegiate softball players Sara Tucholsky and Mallory Holtman. Rabbi Gordon includes stories from all levels of competition, from youth sports to top-tiered professional competition. Figures in Jewish history cited in this book (more than 150) Biblical heroes Abraham and Sara, King David and Jonathan; Talmudic figures Rahbi Akiva, his students and his wife Rachel; Sages Hillel and Shammai, and Nachum Ish Gamzu; and such heroes from modern Jewish history as Anne Frank, Professor Nechama Leibowitz and Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook. Not afraid to take on controversial topics, the author examines the challenges that brain injuries bring to life after sports, and how sports is compromised by the use of illegal steroids and other PEDs.
