What you're made for : powerful life lessons from my career in sports
by George H. Raveling
Orphaned at just thirteen in a still-segregated Washington, D.C., George Raveling was introduced to a relatively unpopular sport--basketball--in high school. The rest, as they say, is history. Raveling went on to become one of the winningest coaches of all time, a mentor to legendary athletes, and a confidant of the sport's greatest coaches, including Bob Knight and John Wooden. He convinced Michael Jordan to collaborate with Nike on the Air Jordan. He led the 1984 U.S. men's Olympic team to their ninth gold medal. Here, Coach Raveling tells the story of his extraordinary ascent, but this book is more than a memoir -- it's a manual for life that presents surprising methods for harnessing your potential from a man who shaped the careers of so many legends.
