  WITH A FOREWORD BY COACH BRUCE ARIANS 
  The extraordinary behind-the-scenes story of how Coach Bruce Arians, Tom Brady, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came together to deliver one of the most improbable Super Bowl victories in NFL history. 
  The pursuit was so shrouded in secrecy that it was referred to within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ organization by codename: Operation Shoeless Joe Jackson. Indeed, the prospect of Tom Brady, six-time Super Bowl champion and widely-acknowledged greatest football player ever, joining the Bucs, a historically hapless franchise that hadn’t made the playoffs in more than a decade, seemed about as likely as Jackson emerging out of an Iowa cornfield in the movie Field of Dreams. 
  But come Brady did. At age forty-three, pushing the boundaries of football mortality and without Bill Belichick by his side for the first time in his NFL career, this would be the ultimate test for the ultimate football legacy. Brady’s new coach, Bruce Arians, also had much to prove. One of the great offensive minds of his generation, Arians returned to coaching in 2018, at the age of 65, in search of the one achievement that had eluded him throughout his illustrious career: a Super Bowl championship. Together, like so many aged snowbirds, Brady and Arians had decamped to Florida to make the most of their remaining years. 
  Renowned sports journalist Lars Anderson was granted extraordinary access to the inner workings of the Bucs’ organization. The result is a remarkable work of sports journalism, peppered with wild inside stories and new insights into Brady, Arians, and the Bucs. From the practice facility to the team plane, from the garage where Brady treats his footballs to the huddle on gameday, Anderson captures the rhythms of perhaps the strangest NFL season ever, turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. In his telling, the Bucs’ quest for one glorious season in the sun becomes a riveting sports epic.

  Mental Toughness For Young Athletes

  Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes! Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guide! I know exactly how you feel. You probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete. (He is actually the narrator for this version of the book.) I am here to help you parents understand how to help your kiddo navigate this mental toughness journey. That's why I wrote the Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent's Guide) In the past I have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports. Most of the books that I read were not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference. Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes we took the long journey of ups and downs for you. IT WAS ROUGH! Luckily along the way we found a winning formula! My son Moses and I launched a podcast together (HOOPCHALK BASKETBALL PODCAST) and on it we interviewed sports mental toughness giants like.... - Chauncey Billups - Tywanna Smith - Keiko Yoshimine - Earl Boykins - Jason Richardson and - Kobe Bryant! We studied what they did and said based on our interviews with them and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! Does your child perform better in practice than they do in the game or when the "Lights Come On"? Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game? Do you want to help them? If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!
