What Makes Winners Win: Over 100 Athletes, Coaches, and Managers Tell You the Secrets of Success

By Charlie Jones

Book Overview

All great athletes have an almost superhuman ability to excel under incredible pressure--the 98-yard touchdown drive with no time-outs remaining; the 40-foot eagle putt at the 18th hole. How do they do it? What Makes Winners Win reveals success secrets from over 100 great men and women in sports, including Bruce Jenner, Chris Evert, and Pat Riley, all of whom shared their personal experiences with veteran sportscaster Charlie Jones. Interspersed with eye-opening quotations from winners such as Tiger Woods, Mary Lou Retton, Greg Louganis, and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, What Makes Winners Win brims with advice on assessing the competition, coping with jitters, confronting life-threatening situations, entering the concentration "zone," and keeping your cool during the unexpected. Complemented by recollections from Jones's remarkable career, What Makes Winners Win trains us for excellence in every aspect of life.

Author - I'm looking for your comments.

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
