Inhaltsangabe

Throughout her long career in the world of basketball, Theresa Shank Grentz has found answers to life’s most vexing problems in unexpected places. The former Olympic coach and Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member never suspected that a “child’s game” could teach someone so much—about passion, confidence, character, and even girl power.

But the game has changed the way she looks at life and living, and now she hopes to inspire others in the same way. Through touching stories and hilarious anecdotes collected from her years in the world of basketball, Lessons Learned from Playing a Child’s Game gives readers a sincere and compassionate look at the life of the renowned basketball coach, and the distinct messages of peace and joy she wants to share with the world.

Within narratives that include growing up playing with the boys, life as a US Olympic coach, and facing tough losses, readers will find valuable advice on enjoying their best lives possible, pursuing and achieving their dreams, and living according to the twelve pillars of character. Regardless of age, interests, or lifestyle, the stories and messages within will provide motivation and inspiration for athletes and non-athletes alike.
