Download or read book Win Forever written by Pete Carroll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I know that I'll be evaluated in Seattle with wins and losses, as that is the nature of my profession for the last thirty-five years. But our record will not be what motivates me. Years ago I was asked, 'Pete, which is better: winning or competing?' My response was instantaneous: 'Competing. . . because it lasts longer.'" Pete Carroll is one of the most successful coaches in football today. As the head coach at USC, he brought the Trojans back to national prominence, amassing a 97-19 record over nine seasons. Now he shares the championship-winning philosophy that led USC to seven straight Pac-10 titles. This same mind-set and culture will shape his program as he returns to the NFL to coach the Seattle Seahawks. Carroll developed his unique coaching style by trial and error over his career. He learned that you get better results by teaching instead of screaming, and by helping players grow as people, not just on the field. He learned that an upbeat, energetic atmosphere in the locker room can coexist with an unstoppable competitive drive. He learned why you should stop worrying about your opponents, why you should always act as if the whole world is watching, and many other contrarian insights. Carroll shows us how the Win Forever philosophy really works, both in NCAA Division I competition and in the NFL. He reveals how his recruiting strategies, training routines, and game-day rituals preserve a team's culture year after year, during championship seasons and disappointing seasons alike. Win Forever is about more than winning football games; it's about maximizing your potential in every aspect of your life. Carroll has taught business leaders facing tough challenges. He has helped troubled kids on the streets of Los Angeles through his foundation A Better LA. His words are true in any situation: "If you want to win forever, always compete."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whenever the team wins, everyone wins and whenever the team loses, we do so as a team but we play giving 100% until the game is over." Readers who are not into sports need not worry, this title focuses more on the off-field drama and personal lives of the players, parents, and coaches more than it does on-field performance of the Knight's team. Great for fans of the sport, parents, children, and readers who enjoy pre-adolescent drama fiction, this title is a fast, fun, and satisfying read. --The US Review of Books Good Knights of California is a story about teamwork on and off the playing field. In order for each of us to reach our life goals, it is best to have a teamwork attitude. This attitude is shared by Brady, Leon, Jake, Martin, and Lisa Marie. What they have in common is after school football, with love of the game and a desire to win. The story reveals what motivates these characters to reach their goals by working as a team. Helping others win in life is the go, fight, win of this story and the characters truly earn the name "Good Knights." Good Knights of California was told to me chapter by chapter after Isaac came home from school. A natural athlete, Isaac Bowers excels in any sport he plays. Football is his passion. This story is fiction based on his experiences playing football. The story is Isaac's and I am Carol Welty Roper, the co-author. I worked to make his story come alive on paper.

For readers to take anything that they might learn from within this book itself, applying it to their personal lives and business also. That at worst, this book could well off just be a good read for someone. I wanted to duplicate most of what I knew about business, marketing and entrepreneurship, putting it all in book form. To teach what I knew; giving back to others that may need to know some of the things that are in this book, creating synergy for each one to reach one, and as the saying goes, “iron sharpens iron.” This book points out specific and personal times where the universe allowed things to come full circle for me. Furthermore, this book touches on: investing, economics, education, accounting, gold, and more. Conveying a bit of financial literacy; understanding markets, business conduct, business strategies, knacks & niches, and business marketing techniques. This book covers topics such as: branding, marketing, advertising, promoting, and outsourcing. Graphics & design, design theory, technology, social media, platforms, and marketplaces. Innovation, creation, enterprise, real estate and the automobile industry. Going also, into ownership, business plans, passive income, residual income, creating streams of revenue, scaling and growing a business. Funneling and integrating a business and other subsidiary company. Exhausting all your resources and adapting and adjusting to things, learning as you go, along with learning from your mistakes. This book explains what it means to be a Pyoneer and/or have the mind of a Pyoneer and how to overcome adversity. How to endure, and persevere through opposition, struggles, and hard times. How to work hard, stay diligent, and understand your true value within; value that others may need. It is a book to inspire you all to never quit, and to also inspire you to go for anything you want that is good. I hope this book motivates you all to start asserting yourself in whatever that is.

Book excerpt: Omar Tyree, New York Times and Blackboard bestselling author and winner of the 2001 NAACP Image Award for literary fiction, delivers a powerful story of two childhood friends lured into the sex, drugs, money, and madness of R&B stardom. Darin Harmon and John Williams, two good church boys from Charlotte, North Carolina, have been best friends since they were toddlers. Both use their God-given talents to breeze through high school, and both are awarded scholarships to North Carolina A&T State University: Darin for football, and John for music. During their sophomore year, John, the introverted momma's boy, showcases his musical genius in a homecoming talent show that changes both their lives forever. John's romantic crooning earns him the nickname "Loverboy." As his R&B career begins, he asks Darin to tag along as his manager. Darin wants no part in the music scene and has big dreams of his own, but when he suffers a season-ending football injury, he finally agrees to hop on the "Loverboy" bandwagon. The two set out to turn John into an R&B superstar. For Darin, dealing with John's rising fame and fortune proves a difficult challenge. The more the two adapt to the dangerous celebrity lifestyle of big-time money, fast women, and recreational drugs, the harder it gets for both of them to "just say no!" With its page-turning narrative and irresistible characters, Just Say No! is destined to become another urban-American classic from Omar Tyree.

Download or read book Late to the Party written by Kelly Quindlen and published by Roaring Brook Press. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From author Kelly Quindlen comes a poignant and deeply relatable story about friendship, self-acceptance, and what it means to be a Real Teenager. Late to the Party is an ode to late bloomers and wallflowers everywhere. Seventeen is nothing like Codi Teller imagined. She’s never crashed a party, never stayed out too late. She’s never even been kissed. And it’s not just because she’s gay. It’s because she and her two best friends, Maritza and JaKory, spend more time in her basement watching Netflix than engaging with the outside world. So when Maritza and JaKory suggest crashing a party, Codi is highly skeptical. Those parties aren’t for kids like them. They’re for cool kids. Straight kids. But then Codi stumbles upon one of those cool kids, Ricky, kissing another boy in the dark, and an unexpected friendship is formed. In return for never talking about that kiss, Ricky takes Codi under his wing and draws her into a wild summer filled with late nights, new experiences, and one really cute girl named Lydia. The only problem? Codi never tells Maritza or JaKory about any of it.

Book excerpt: John White Hughes Bassett is an extraordinary figure in Canadian public life, a man who's been at the centre of politics, sports, the media and business for over forty years.

Based on more than 200 interviews with friends, family, business asociates, critics and enemies, Bassett is a remarkably thorough portrait of a distinguished Canadian publisher, broadcaster and businessman.

Download or read book Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead written by Frank Meeink and published by Hawthorne Books. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the acclaimed Frank Meeink story includes a preface by the author, nine new chapters, an updated epilogue, and resource guides for substance abuse recovery and countering racism. Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is Frank Meeink’s raw telling of his descent into America’s Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction. Frank’s violent childhood in South Philadelphia primed him to hate. He made easy prey for a small group of skinhead gang recruiters led by his older cousin. At fourteen, he shaved his head. By sixteen, Frank was one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast. By eighteen, he was doing hard time in an Illinois prison. Behind bars, Frank began to question his hatred, thanks in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league. Shortly after being paroled, Frank defected from the white supremacy movement. The Oklahoma City bombing inspired him to try to stop the hatred he once had felt. He began speaking on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and appeared on MTV and other national networks in his efforts to stop the hate. In time, Frank partnered with the Philadelphia Flyers to launch an innovative hate prevention program called Harmony Through Hockey. He is currently developing a similar program for the Iowa Chops, an AHL team affiliated with the Anaheim Ducks. The story of Frank Meeink’s downfall and redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives.
