“I absolutely LOVE your latest book. It has power, wisdom, and the best—practicality. How I could have used it several years ago when I was playing tennis! Presently, it speaks to my other long-time sport: Duplicate Bridge. Now with your help, I have hit my own stride.
I needed to hear from you about accepting personal limitations without shame. And about rebounding after failure and disappointment. And about forgiving myself. With that stuff out of my way, I can enjoy the competition and do so much better when facing it. My best to you—and thanks again for speaking to me in each chapter.” —Judy Wellek

It’s a guide to your journey through life: how to understand your athletes, and yourself.”—Bill Finney, Head Women’s Basketball Coach and Athletic Director, Marymount University
