There are a lot of things that try to keep us divided today, but if we are truly serious about change and making an impact it is going to mean some discomfort along the way. With THE LOCKER ROOM authors Damon West and Stephen Mackey show what can happen when we come together in order to become stronger, more united and equipped for what's ahead. Though this can be a challenge, THE LOCKER ROOM shows us the benefits of addressing the things that can be difficult in an effort to understand and move forward together. Life doesn't have to be US against THEM. We can be able to find common ground where we are, and in doing so we can leave the world and the lives of others better.
