The stories are introduced by an all-star team of high profile, professional celebrities that include NASCAR's Jeff Gordon, Super Bowl star David Tyree of the New York Giants, NBA celebrity Dwight Howard, MLB Player of the Year Albert Pujols, Olympic champions like Apolo Anton Ohno, Misty May-Treanor and Bryan Clay, music stars such as Julianne Hough, and top names from extreme sports such as Shaun Murray and Andy Finch. The Real Winning Edge is pure inspiration. It is a program that encourages young people to see beyond their own circumstances and realize they are not alone in their struggles. It is a program that instills confidence in teenagers who are reaching for their own dreams. It is a program that delivers a strong message of hope and optimism for the future of America's youth.
