    Talent can win games. But only integrity can sustain success. Join Dr. Matt Barker for this episode of the Playing with a Purpose podcast, where he explores what it truly means to "not cheat the game.” Integrity isn’t just about avoiding scandals or staying out of trouble. It’s about competing with honesty and refusing shortcuts—even when the pressure is high. Throughout the episode, we explore the quiet choices that define character, the long-term cost of cutting corners, and why programs built on integrity are more sustainable than those just built on wins and losses.
