Sinopse

In a rousing trip through the worlds of Basketball and Football, George Thomas Clark explores the professional basketball league in Mexico, the Herculean talents of Wilt Chamberlain, the difficulties and humor of attempting to play basketball in middle age, and observes that coaching at Caltech can be more painful than studying all night for a physics exam. We also peer into the minds of legends LeBron James, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, and numerous others. 
On the gridiron Clark reveals the talent and tragedy of Donald Rogers, an All American at UCLA and a star for the Cleveland Browns, the challenges of attending a Seahawks game in Seattle, the thoughts of brilliant but tormented Bill Walsh, the glory and horror of O.J. Simpson, major college football players being exploited by the NCAA and university bureaucrats, the rise and fall of the USC Trojans, issues of alcoholism, substance abuse, and domestic violence, and more. 
Half the stories are straight nonfiction and others are satirical pieces guided by the unwavering hand of an inspired storyteller.

    46 Things You MUST Know About...

    You see yourself playing overseas at some point, which is why you got this audiobook. Good. 
    Here, I’m sharing essential tips about playing overseas basketball that you may never otherwise have been told - until you were on the wrong end of this information (which is how I learned all this stuff). 
    Wouldn't it be much better to know some things ahead of time? 
    I created my pro basketball career after graduating an NCAA Division III school, were I was a six-foot-four power forward/center who didn’t even play on the basketball team as a senior. 
    I knew less than nothing about playing overseas when I got out of college. I went through many years and thousands of dollars of learning to know what I now share with millions of athletes worldwide. That learning, fortunately, paid off in me putting together a nine-year resume that took me through eight countries playing basketball professionally. Though it was never a perfectly smooth ride, the successes more than made up for the down times. 
    If I could do it coming from less than nothing and keep it going for nine years, you can, too. 
    You can read more about me on my website or the Overseas Basketball Blueprint course page if you wish; this audiobook is about and for you. 
    A lot of players ask me a lot of questions about how to play professional basketball abroad; this is your primer for doing just that. When you’re ready to get the full-course meal, see The Overseas Basketball Blueprint for the entire nine-module course, which covers everything in detail.

    A “wonderful” memoir about mountain climbing—and the risk, joy, and adventure of being alive (Chris Bonington).  Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature   When poet Andrew Greig was asked by Scottish mountaineer Mal Duff to join his ascent of the Mustagh Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas, he had a poor head for heights and no climbing experience whatsoever. The result is this unique book. Known for its candor and wit, and the beauty of its writing, Summit Fever is the story of a newcomer to mountain climbing facing a challenge beyond his expectations—“an excellent read, one of the best expedition books so far” (Climber).
