The Heart of A Champion Celebrating the Spirit and Character of Great American Sports Heroes By Frank Deford "If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment. For more than 75 years, the Wheaties box has celebrated the essence of being a champion: the character of excellence, the spirit of achievement, and the triumph of determination. The Heart of a Champion celebrates the stories behind some of the greatest athletes and teams to appear on a Wheaties box. The Heart of a Champion honors lesser-known champions as well as the most recognized figures in sports over the last 75 years. The Heart of a Champion pays tribute to those men and women whose Commitment, Grace, Courage, Team Effort, and Perseverance exemplify the true spirit of any champion.
