No one knows
the dynamics
of a winning
team better
than Pat
Riley, one
of pro
basketball's
most
successful
coaches. The
Winner
Within is
his game
plan for
team players
in every
aspect of
life:
business,
family, or
sports.
Riley uses
his own
examples of
success--in
and out of
sports--to
show how any
group can
blend its
talents to
create
lasting
success.
To all
Americans,
Mickey
Mantle
epitomizes
the Golden
Age of
American
sport: He is
the
quintessential
hero of a
time when
much was
right with
the world,
and nothing
was ever
wrong with
the New York
Yankees. In
All My
Octobers,
Mickey
recounts his
career as an
athletic
phenomenon
in the
greatest
dynasty
baseball has
ever seen:
the days
when he and
his Yankee
teammates
made it to
twelve World
Series in
fourteen
years.
In this
unparalleled
memoir,
Mickey
Mantle
recounts
both the
joys and
agonies of
his rise
from
small-town
Oklahoma,
where he
listened to
the World
Series on
the radio,
to his
successes on
the field
and the many
injuries he
overcame in
order to
make it to
twelve World
Series. From
the 1951
Series, when
he played
alongside
the aging
Joe
DiMaggio, to
1964, when
he belted
three Series
home runs,
Mantle
relives
every one of
his World
Series
games,
moment by
moment.
These were
the games
that
counted,
when the
nation held
its breath
on every
pitch and
Mantle and
his Yankee
teammates
rose to the
occasion and
achieved the
legendary
string of
championships
that remains
unsurpassed,
even in this
era of
superstar
athletes.
Mantle also
speaks
candidly
about the
parties and
celebrations
that were
part of a
young
professional
athlete's
lifestyle;
there was
never a
shortage of
alcohol in
the world of
baseball,
and here, in
a moving
epilogue,
Mantle
traces the
roots of the
alcoholism
with which
he recently
came to
terms and
conquered
with the
help of a
loving
family,
friends, and
thousands of
fans.
The classic
tale of a
player and
his team
seizing
their
destiny and
reaching the
pinnacle of
success over
and over
again, All
My Octobers
is also the
story of a
man from
small-town
America who
remains an
idol to this
day, his raw
talent,
grace and
courage
bridging
generations
and
confirming
his place as
a living
legend.
Pat Summitt,
head coach
of the
Tennessee
Lady Vols,
is a
phenomenon
in womens
basketball.
Her
ferociously
competitive
teams have
won three
NCAA
championships
in a
row--1996,
1997, and
1998. The
1997-98 Lady
Vols posted
a historic
39-0 record,
prompting
the New York
Times, among
many others,
to proclaim
them "the
best womens
college team
ever." Now,
in this
groundbreaking
motivational
book, Pat
Summitt
presents her
formula for
success,
which she
calls the
"Definite
Dozen
System." In
each of the
books twelve
chapters,
Summitt
talks about
one of the
systems
principles--such
as
responsibility,
discipline,
and
loyalty--and
shows how
you apply it
to your own
situation.
Along the
way, she
uses her own
remarkable
story as a
vehicle for
explaining
how anyone
can
transform
herself
through
ambition.
Pat Summitt
will
motivate you
to achieve
in sports,
business,
and the most
important
game of
all--life.
In More Than
Just a Game,
Bobby Bowden
shares
personal
stories and
experiences
about the
ups and
downs of his
career and
family life.
In addition,
fellow
coaches,
family
members, and
friends
offer
glimpses of
the Bowden
they know
and love --
the coach,
father,
disciplinarian,
counselor,
teacher, and
friend.
Through
these moving
stories you
will
discover the
strong faith
that has led
and
sustained
Bowden
throughout a
distinguished
-- yet
sometimes
difficult --
career.
Whether
encouraging
a group of
potential
athletes or
leading the
Florida
State
University
Seminoles to
a National
Championship,
there is
much to be
learned from
this
legendary
coach many
regard as
"bigger than
life."
In today's
fast-paced
society
where
athletes
regularly
draw
multimillion-dollar
paychecks,
we sometimes
forget the
long hours
of practice
and work it
takes for an
athlete to
become
successful.
Truthfully
speaking, it
never
happens
overnight.
Hard work,
perfect
practice,
and
dedication
to the goal
of becoming
better at
your "sport"
are just a
few of the
steps it
takes to
become a
Michael
Johnson, a
Muhammad
Ali, a
Barbra
Streisand, a
Steven
Spielberg,
or a Bill
Gates.
It works for
everyone,
not just
superstar
athletes. As
you read
Michael
Johnson`s
inspired
words, you
will learn
the skills
you need,
one step at
a time, to
go out and
slay your
own dragons.
There's
something
unusual in
the air in
Orlando,
Florida. Pat
Williams
sensed it
even before
he moved
there to
become
general
manager of
one of the
NBA's newest
and hottest
basketball
teams, the
Orlando
Magic. The
feeling in
Orlando is
that
anything is
possible,
that anyone
is capable
of turning
his or her
wildest
dreams into
glorious
reality.
In Go for
the Magic
Williams
shows you
how this
magic can
work for
you--and how
it can help
you realize
the most
important
goals in
your life.
Williams now
knows that
Orlando's
singular
brand of
magic is due
in large
part to the
efforts of
one
exceptional
man: the
late Walt
Disney.
Disney's
unfettered
imagination
and
unbending
determination
brought the
magic of
Disney World
to Orlando.
In turn, Pat
Williams
used
Disney's
principles
of success
to shape the
Orlando
Magic into a
dream team
for the 90s
and
beyond--a
team that's
racking up
high scores
on the court
and high
returns at
the box
office.
Go for the
Magic
introduces
you to
Disney's
straightforward,
five-fold
strategy for
success, and
it offers
hundreds of
inspiring
examples
from the
lives of
those who
have
followed
these
principles
to
astounding
success.
Wielding
extraordinary
storytelling
skills,
Williams
offers
glimpses
into his own
life,
Disney's
life, and
the lives of
celebrities
from
Shaquille
O'Neal to
Larry King
and Dr.
Seuss. There
are also
unforgettable
stories
drawn from
the
experiences
of scores of
others who
are less
well known,
but no less
noteworthy.
Throughout
the book,
Williams
shows you
how a
foundation
in faith,
imagination,
and personal
excellence
can effect
positive
change in
your life.
Go for the
Magic gives
you the
means and
inspiration
to transform
your dreams
into
tomorrow's
success
story. As
Pat Williams
will show
you, magic
isn't
exclusive to
Orlando,
it's found
anywhere you
look--as
long as you
make it
happen.
One look
into her
eyes and you
know she
means
business;
get the ball
anywhere
near her and
you will
find out for
sure. This
is not your
run-of-the-mill,
world-class
athlete -
this is
Michelle
Akers, a
champion
whose
incredible
drive and
skills are
legendary in
womens
soccer. This
is the woman
USA Today
called the
"heart and
soul" of the
history
making 1999
U. S. Womens
World Cup
Soccer
Championship
Team.
The Game and
the Glory
takes you
inside the
life of one
of the
greatest
female
athletes of
our time and
shows you
what make a
true
champion. It
is more than
ability - it
is an inner
fire that
blazes its
hottest when
the winds of
adversity
blow their
strongest.
But for all
her
tremendous
grit and
ability,
there is one
opponent
even
Michelle
Akers cannot
shake. It is
called
Chronic
Fatigue
Immune
Deficiency
Syndrome
(CFIDS), and
it affects
every area
of her life,
draining the
energy
needed just
to function,
let alone
play sports.
Akers may be
the only
person with
CFIDS who
has ever
continued to
compete on a
world level.
From her
childhood
infatuation
with soccer,
to high
school days
in Seattle
playing with
the U-19
Flyers, to
training at
the
University
of Central
Florida, to
the rigors
of the U.S.
Womens
National
Team, Akers
retraces her
guts-and-glory
road to the
Rose Bowl
and the 1999
World Cup
victory. You
will learn
about the
indomitable
drive to win
that has
made her one
of the top
scorers and
most feared
opponents in
womens
soccer. And
you will
witness the
unflagging
endurance
that has
propelled
her past
multiple
injuries and
the ravages
of CFIDS to
sustain a
fifteen-year
career with
the national
team. You
will also
read about
Michelles
life off the
playing
field: her
relationships
with family,
coaches,
friends, and
teammates,
her personal
struggles,
and her
faith in
Jesus Christ
that has
kept her
fighting -
and winning
- against
unimaginable
odds.
Former U. S.
soccer coach
Tony DiCicco
has called
Michelle
Akers "the
best woman
that has
ever played
the game,
period." The
Game and the
Glory will
show you
why. Here,
in her own
straightforward
words, the
the
true-life
story of an
amazing
athlete -
and a
remarkable
woman.
Leave it to
one of the
best
pitchers in
baseball to
write the
most unusual
sports
autobiography
in years.
The man
Sport
magazine
calls the
smartest
pitcher in
the big
leagues,
goes far
beyond the
action (of
which there
is plenty).
The pure
baseball is
here, but
that's not
all. This is
a book about
family,
about home,
about love,
about
ambition,
about
determination,
about faith.
But, beyond
the
excitement
and the
drama,
beyond the
crowds and
the tension,
you get a
rare glimpse
of what it
takes to
pitch in the
big leagues.
Here is the
most
thoughtful
treatment
ever of The
Pitch--an
entire
five-chapter
section. The
thinking
man's
pitcher, the
most
articulate
baseball
philosopher
in the game
today, lets
you inside
his head.
For many,
Orel
Hershiser
appeared
suddenly.
Out of the
blue. By the
time the
1988 season
was over, he
had broken
one of
baseball's
most
enduring
pitching
records, won
the Cy Young
Award, was
named Most
Valuable
Player in
the playoffs
and the
World
Series, was
named Sports
Illustrated's
Sportsman of
the Year,
The Sporting
News' Major
League
Player of
the Year,
and The
Associated
Press Male
Athlete of
the Year.
Dravecky was
an
outstanding
baseball
pitcher for
the San
Francisco
Giants when
life threw
him a curve
ball; cancer
claimed his
pitching
arm, and
ultimately
his arm and
shoulder
were
removed. The
Draveckys
write of
their worry,
pain,
depression,
faith, and
joy. Life
demands much
of its
participants,
and there is
a message in
this book
for all.
In this
up-close
narrative,
Ruth Ryan
talks about
life with
her husband,
baseball's
most famous
living
legend,
Nolan Ryan.
Written at
the
culmination
of Ryan's
27-season
career, Ruth
shares
behind-the-scenes
stories and
candidly
writes about
their love,
faith and
commitment
to each
other.
By studying baseball, you can learn a lot about life,
success and failure. This book is a collection of short
lessons that our national pastime can teach us if we let it.
