The path to greatness starts in the home

Amidst a current tidal wave of negativity, Raising Champions  emerges as a powerful and timely antidote for our country. Drawing from the personal journeys of three of South Africa’s most celebrated sports figures, Olympic gold medallist Chad le Clos, Bafana Bafana legend Shaun Bartlett, and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner CJ van der Linde, Raising Champions reveals how discipline, character, faith and having the right values can elevate ordinary youth into extraordinary leaders.

Written by life coach and author Myan Subrayan, the book serves as a motivational road map for parents, teachers, coaches and young people navigating today’s broken world. It delivers practical insights and powerful testimonies that prove our youth are not doomed to be another statistic. With the right mentorship and guidance, they can rise above their circumstances and become champions not just in sport, but in life.

This book is also a valuable resource for business leaders and organisations looking to inspire their teams with the timeless principles of commitment, perseverance and character. It challenges leaders to lead by example and equips them with insights that can ignite a culture of excellence and purpose within the workplace.

Raising Champions is a clarion call to a nation: it’s time to rebuild, one value-driven young person at a time.
