“Circle of Success – Lessons from a Lifetime of Sport” is an inspirational collection of anecdotes on the value of sport in bringing out the qualities we all need to be successful in life. Drawn from the experiences of an Olympic athlete and an NCAA Championship water polo coach, each of the twelve chapters in the book contains between two and four stories that illustrate qualities such as self-discipline, confidence, persistence, responsibility and attitude – qualities that can be developed through sport. The book is written in a conversational tone that makes it easy to read. The anecdotes are challenging, amusing, and enlightening, and each is partnered with a page of motivational quotations by noteworthy figures. Hugh Hewitt, three-time Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist, said of this book: “Newland and Leach have something important to say to everyone who values success. They know about training the body, but they speak about training one’s life”.
“Circle of Success – Lessons from a Lifetime of Sport” will appeal to a wide range of readers and will be a timeless addition to any home.
