Chris Bosh, retired Hall of Famer, tackles new challenge in his book dedicated to helping young athletes

There had to be an outlet, Chris Bosh thought, something to challenge him, something to replicate the dedication needed to thrive as a professional athlete, something to give him the extra purpose to his life.

His NBA career had ended too early and too suddenly and there was more in him if only he could find what it was.
