Be the best and win against the toughest opponents

with the leadership skills used by today's leading sports figures

What makes Mia Hamm and Michael Jordan two of the most successful sports leaders in the world? Their drive, dedication, ambition, courage, and winning strategies. Sports LeadersandSuccess goes behind-the-scenes to reveal strategies used by 55 celebrated athletes and coaches and explores how to apply their skills to succeed in any competitive environment.

Straight from the popular Investor's Business Daily "LeadersandSuccess" section, this inspirational book examines how:

  • Basketball legend John Wooden won an unsurpassed 10 of 12 NCAA Championship titles by relentlessly focusing on what worked (and fixing what didn't) for each group of young men he coached.
  • Tennis great Martina Navratilova practiced constantly and used the advice of other pros to win the most championships of any player in tennis history, man or woman.
  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's dedication and self-discipline helped this scrawny kid grow up to become one of the greatest basketball players ever.
  • Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France five years in a row by working harder than anyone else and riding when no one else would.

Highlighting the traits and habits of the world's greatest athletes, this collection provides positive examples of the uncompromising dedication behind any and all success. Learn what it takes to be at the top of your game with Sports LeadersandSuccess.
