More Than The Score is a series of stories describing life lessons a young man was taught, by his Father, through sports. Whether it be as a young child playing a friendly game of marbles or as a young man playing his first year of Division One college football the young man’s Father took every opportunity to teach his son valuable lessons that he hoped would help shape his life as an adult. These lessons, some 30 or more years in the past, are used today as the foundation on which one man continues to build his life as a husband, father, and coach.

“If ever a book was aptly named, More Than The Score is it. Chris givens was a gifted athlete, but it was the life lessons that he learned from his loving father that endured. This book is a must-read for young athletes in particular and sports fans in general.” "This book provides lessons for life not just in sports. The author is able to take you into the story to experience what he was feeling with each situation. It is evident in the writing that the author and his father had a strong loving relationship that all would be fortunate to experience." "There are always young people asking what books I like∑.well this will definitely be one I will recommend. I also know many parents who help coach sports teams for their children; a good one for them as well. I know it sure made me think about a few things." "The lessons are simple, but filled with wisdom. There's humor and perspective and the love that comes from that special bond between a dad and a son who love games and competition. I had a "Field of Dreams" moment when I finished reading it, wishing for one last game of catch and some wisdom from my old man, who's been gone for 20 years now."
