The intriguing sports history and the constant debate of the origin
and meaning of the many different sports phases and sayings in this
story are quite enough for any sports fan but this story adds the
likes of two bumbling investigators who are bound to steal your
heart and entertain your imagination. The twist in the story will
leave you spellbound as DSI uncover the realities of sports and
life through this charming tale of sport, intrigue and mystery.
These two endearing investigators constantly argue with each other
and claim that the other doesn't know "Diddly-squat" about life,
sports or investigation. Are they right, or are we the ones in the
dark about the true meaning of life, and the all-important world of
sports phraseology?
Powerful Lessons Sports Shorts is a collection of short stories
penned by J. H. Holland, author of Link and DSI: Diddly Squat
Investigation. His creative imagination and realistic approach to
each sport come from his own experiences. Dr. Holland competed in
each of the various sports, and developed an appreciation for the
life lessons attributed to the world of athletics. He originally
shared these stories with his own children as they were growing up,
to encourage them to apply themselves and to find joy in
competition. An individual's triumphs are found in the energy it
takes to compete, and the rewards are one's personal achievements.
It is the author's hope that as you and your family read these
stories, you will not only be entertained, but also discover
connections with the characters as they come alive on the page.

Link is based on actual high school experiences of the author, J.
H. Holland. Holland's high school football team was nationally
ranked in 1974, during a season that culminated with a thrilling
state championship game. While the story chronicles many of the
common experiences and challenges that high school students faced
thirty years ago, those same experiences and challenges are
relevant even today. The book follows the life of a fictional
character, Jimmy Watkins. Jimmy's family has moved from Texas to
Southern California's Orange County following a recent tragedy in
their lives. Jimmy is dealing with his own trials and tribulations,
yet he is still capable of motivating those around him by staying
true to the standards he has set for himself. Because of his
percieved weaknesses and the mystery that surrounds him, Jimmy is
affectionately named "Link" by his coaches and teammates. Jimmy's
attitude consistently exudes positive ideals and beliefs; this
attitude is one of the most significant threads sewn throughout the
story. The mystery of Jimmy's health condition provides an
intriguing element to the story line of the book. Witnessing how
Jimmy is influenced by those around him like his father, friends
and coaches, inspires readers to remember the wonderful influences
others have had in their own lives. Jimmy heeds those influences
and uses what he learns to positively impact the people around him.
Jimmy's attitude is infectious to all that encounter him, as does
this book which has proven to be difficult to put down. .
