WRITE ON CHARLIE JONES!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Makes Winners Win: Over 100 Athletes, Coaches, and Managers Tell You the Secrets of Success (Paperback)
This is a great Book! It is full of fun stories about great athletes & Coaches. It is easy to read, with many short chapters, each containing a story. In my opinion, this book is good for just about any age: teens through seniors. It is both inspiring and motivating. It really is a "WINNER" of a read.

Author - I'm looking for your comments.,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Makes Winners Win: Thoughts and Reflections from Successful Athletes (Hardcover)
I'm very proud of this book. We have discovered that it touches all of our lives. It is not just a sports book, but rather sports is the metaphor for living. Winners have the mind set to win, even when everything seems to be going wrong, they still figure out a way to win. It is fascinating how their minds work. I think you'll really enjoy What Makes Winners Win. ---Charlie Jones, author
