Praise for The Locker Room
“Occasionally, a book comes along that really impacts you and really makes you think, feel, and want to act differently going forward. This book is a roadmap for how we can progress towards healing, unity, and overcoming the ugliness that is racism. West and Mackey are onto something here, and we should all pay attention because the current game plan isn't working.”
—Rhett Power, Forbes columnist
“The Locker Room comes at a highly contentious time in our country and delivers a powerful and much needed story whose overriding messages of teamwork, unity, and respect for one another are most welcome in the face of increasing social and political divisiveness and a racial reckoning. Set in the inner sanctum melting pot of a football team locker room, former athletes Mackey and West draw on their experiences to present a story that illustrates how teams with players and coaches from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities ‘come together around a common goal. They work together, sacrifice for each other, and use their diversity as a strength to make each other better.’ The glaring conclusion is that our families and neighborhoods, indeed our country, could benefit from practicing the story’s locker room principles and lessons for the betterment of us all. This is a timely, moving, and thought-provoking read.”
—Michael Hurd, historian and author of Thursday Night Lights: The Story of Black High School Football in Texas
