Minnesota Made Me

What is it about growing up and living in Minnesota that shapes the careers and values of its most successful athletes? In Minnesota Made Me, award-winning sportswriter Patrick C. Borzi digs into the background of more than two dozen of Minnesota's most accomplished athletes in search of the answer. Whether famous or obscure, from small towns to the Twin Cities, all share common ground in work ethic, integrity, and a drive for excellence. Many have gone to find success in post-athletic endeavors as well. Borzi covered a lot of them, and their stories educate and inspire.
