Game For Life
GAME FOR LIFE chronicles the journeys of 25 Singaporeans whose lives have been made extraordinary through sport. They are a diverse group of people: academics, business leaders, public servants and professional athletes who come from very different backgrounds. With 25 stories of hope and achievement, GAME FOR LIFE will inspire readers to discover their potential through sport. The book celebrates the effort and life lessons as much as it pays tribute to the victories on the field and in the arena.
