What are the core principles of mentorship that transcend classrooms, businesses, civic and health-care communities, and the sports world? In The Power of 12, six time Pro Bowler Keith Jackson shows the reader how mentoring young ones can alter lives for the better. Relationships help create that change. Love and commitment are of foundational importance. Keith Jackson has recognized a need for father figures in the lives of students and wants to instill in them a sense of purpose, accountability, integrity, boldness, self-confidence, and discipline. Giving them a vision that shows them that they have a choice in their present and future, this book addresses twelve principles in an attempt to bottle up twenty years of mentoring experience. Along the way, it tells Jackson's story--from a skinny kid hesitant to play football, to the growing pains of adolescence, on into his college and professional playing careers. Feel the same call to action that made Jackson into the mentor he is today.
