Devon Alexander pens inspirational children's book

Former world champion Devon Alexander is telling his story in a way he never has before with heart, purpose, and the next generation in mind. His new children’s book, The Rise of a Champion, offers an inspiring look at how perseverance, discipline and belief can turn a child's dreams into reality. Designed to reach young readers at an early age, the book follows a powerful journey, rooted in Alexander’s real life story growing up in St. Louis and his striving to become a world champion despite challenges and adversity. “This book is about showing children what’s possible,“ says Alexander. “I want them to see that where you start doesn’t have to determine where you finish. “Through vibrant, storytelling and engaging visuals the rise of champion delivers more than motivation, it provide a message of hope, structure, and self belief for children, who may not always see examples of success that look like them. Through his story and platform, Devon continues to impact children while carrying out his purpose.
