Good Sports Character Lessons For Life

Ask successful people, from any occupation, to share their secret, you'll likely hear a variety of answers - determination, competitiveness, tenacity, courage and character - to name a few. No secret formulas or shortcuts, successful people learned to occupy their time meaningfully, pursuing work and play with a purpose. Good Sports tells the stories of children who showed up for their first sports practice with hope and playful purpose. It was the adults who helped the young athletes by sharing time, skills, vision and encouragement - adults who chose to get involved. They brought perspective and meaning to every practice and competition. As the players matured, they returned each year with renewed enthusiasm because participation was fun and personally rewarding. Their stories inspire. "Mark Gensic has written a book which should be of significance to any and every aspiring young coach."
