Dan Gold is a lifelong sports fan, father of four, and storyteller who believes the lessons learned through sports mirror the lessons that matter most in life. Raised in the Midwest, he caught and pitched, wrestled through long winters and played linebacker under the Friday night lights. Those experiences left a lasting mark—teaching him about teamwork, perseverance, humility and what it means to get back up after a hard loss. Before becoming an author, Dan spent years as a surgeon and in business—careers that demanded the same qualities that sports had instilled early on: preparation, focus, composure under pressure and the ability to work as part of a team. Those parallels between sports and life were never lost on him. As a dad and youth coach, he saw those same values come full circle, shaping his children and countless young athletes into stronger, more grounded people. That belief lies at the heart of his award-winning Game Changers series, which shares true stories of athletes and coaches whose lives remind readers that real success is measured not by wins, but by effort, resilience, integrity and heart. His debut, Game Changers: Inspirational Sports Stories, earned the 2025 Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal and continues to inspire teens, parents and coaches alike. Dan lives in Connecticut, where he writes to celebrate the spirit of sports and the athletes who embody its best values—and to pass along the timeless message that victories fade, but character endures.
