Colts Championship Team Member Shines Light on ?The Jersey Effect?


Bloomington, IND (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

WestBow Press, the strategic self-publishing division of the world?s largest Christian publisher, Thomas Nelson, Inc., today announced it will be releasing the new book, ?The Jersey Effect? to coincide with this year?s Super Bowl being held in Indianapolis, Indiana. Co-authored by retired Indianapolis Colts? championship punter Hunter Smith and All Pro Dad Director Darrin Gray, ?The Jersey Effect? uses real-life NFL stories from notable Indianapolis Colts figures to demonstrate that a player?s behavior both on and off the field can have profound effects on fans and young players.

In a recent WestBow Press interview with Smith, he talks about where the concept for ?The Jersey Effect? originated and why he and co-author Darrin Gray felt so compelled to share it with the world. ?We wanted to write a book that talked about the social responsibilities professional athletes take on when they choose to first put on that jersey, and how their choices and behaviors as a team member can have profound implications on the fans and young people that admire them and watch the sport,? said Smith.

?The Jersey Effect? will be available as an eBook at the WestBow Press Bookstore on January 27. Look for it in both hard- and softcover formats at leading booksellers later in the spring.
