At age thirty-nine, there was nothing author Donovan J. Rolle Sr. couldn't do physically. It wasn't a question of whether he would finish a competition, it was only a matter of how much time it would take. That changed months before the Spartan Beast when an injury forced him to reflect. In The Heart of a Spartan, he tells how he embraced the challenge and used it as an opportunity for soul searching and self-development. He discusses setting SMART goals, creating a plan to execute those goals, and diligently, consistently, and tenaciously doing what it takes to achieve those goals regardless of the setbacks and obstacles. Through his testimony, Rolle helps others understand they can be their authentic self regardless of external circumstances simply because they will learn to become confident in themselves, their talents, and their abilities as he has done. The Heart of a Spartan also speaks to proper physical training which encompasses a tri-fold foundational approach where one's mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness are paramount to successfully attaining physical fitness.

New school year, same old problems . . . At Mythos Academy, everyone knows exactly who I am: Rory Forseti, Spartan girl and the daughter of Reapers. Even though I fought alongside my cousin Gwen Frost to save the mythological world from Loki and his evil Reapers of Chaos, I’m still the most hated girl at the academy because of all the horrible things my parents did. I had hoped that this school year would be different, but the other kids just won’t let me forget about my parents. But something strange is going on at the Colorado academy. First, I run into a Viking guy who dislikes me more than most. Then I notice some odd artifacts in the Library of Antiquities. And worst of all, I start hearing rumors about a new group of Reapers who can summon mythological monsters. I might be the most hated girl at Mythos Academy, but I’m also the only one who can save it . . .
