Lessons From A Lifetime of Sport

[]Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a world-class athlete? Or what it’s like to compete in the Hawaiian Ironman? Did you ever wish you knew the “secret” of a successful life? Bill Leach, Olympic kayaker and race director of the Pacific Coast Triathlon, has co-authored a book that answers these questions.

In “Circle of Success – Lessons from a Lifetime of Sport” he and Ted Newland, head water polo coach at University of California, Irvine, give us their unique insight on how sport and life interconnect. Drawing on a combined athletic experience of over 100 years, Leach and Newland have put together a collection of challenging, amusing, and enlightening anecdotes. With famous and inspiring quotations on every other page, and a conversational tone that makes it very easy to read, this book will appeal to a wide variety of people, especially those already interested in sport.

“Newland and Leach have something important to say to everyone who values success in their lives. They know about training the body, but they speak about training one’s life.”   - Hugh Hewitt, author and three-time Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist
