Download or read book A Champion s Mind written by Pete Sampras and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Champion’s Mind, the tennis great who so often exhibited visible discomfort with letting people “inside his head” finally opens up. An athletic prodigy, Pete resolved from his earliest playing days never to let anything get in the way of his love for the game. But while this determination led to tennis domination, success didn’t come without a price. Here for the first time Pete speaks freely about the personal trials he faced—including the death of a longtime coach and confidant—and the struggles he gutted his way through while being seemingly on top of the world. Among the book’s most riveting scenes are the devastating early loss that led Pete to make a monastic commitment to the game; fierce on-court battles with Andre Agassi; and the triumphant last match of Pete’s career at the finals of the 2002 U.S. Open. "A thoroughly compelling read that really probes the hard drive of a champion...All the emotion and insight that Sampras seemes reluctant to express during his playing days come spilling forth." —Jon Wertheim, senior writer, Sports Illustrated
Download or read book A Tiger Rose Out of Georgia Tiger Flowers Champion of the World written by Bob Mee and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2014-03-27 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theodore 'Tiger' Flowers rose above the racist bigotry of the Deep South to become the first African-American middleweight champion of the world. To do it, this Christian family man beat a boxing legend, Harry Greb, in the first of the great sporting cathedrals, Madison Square Garden. It was a victory that stunned the sporting world and made him a household name. Yet within a year he had lost his championship on a decision some said was influenced by Al Capone - and within another year was dead, following a seemingly innocuous operation, in the clinic of a controversial surgeon, to remove lumps and scars above his eyes. Was his death, at the age of 34, an accident, a result of negligence, or something more sinister? And what was behind his white manager's attempt to throw Tiger's widow into an asylum and their daughter into an orphanage? Flowers' inspiring, harrowing story, set against an horrific backdrop of lynchings and routine prejudice, is largely forgotten now but he paved the way for black sporting heroes like Joe Louis, Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson.

Download or read book The Last Champion of Earth written by Donald I. Templeman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, humanity dreams of a time when all religious influences will fade into oblivion In the year 2174, the dream has been realized. God is a vulgar myth. The love and experience of life is an end unto itself. Material possessions are the measure of a person’s worth. Sexual pleasure is the height of human ecstasy. There is no drug which cannot be abused. There is no conscience which cannot salve its own guilt. Man is truly the author of his own destiny...until the end of the Earth threatens to write the final climax. “The Last Champion of Earth” is a science fiction/fantasy novel designed for the agnostic adult who wrestles with his or her moral conscience on the matter of how important a relationship with God really is to both the individual and a sentient civilization. Did God truly intend for us to create our own rules and live for ourselves? Or is there a relationship with God we must explore and nurture? Does a salvation for the eternal soul truly exist? Or are the days we dwell on this Earth all that there is to live for? “An unstable foundation is built upon shifting sands. A sturdy foundation is built upon a rock which endures all inclemency and adversity.” —Donald I. Templeman
