Publisher's Summary:
There comes a time in every competitive athlete's life when the cheering stops, and it's time to move on to other pursuits. Written by a former Division 1 football player and Academic All-American, The Way of the Athlete argues that sports prepares athletes for this transition by instilling qualities that contribute to academic, business, and personal success.
Rob Pate draws on his own experience, together with the experiences of coaches and other athletes, to highlight the parallels between athletic achievement and attainment in other areas of life. The author looks beyond the time-honored qualities of discipline, dedication, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership. He examines other must-have athletic attributes that help build character, including the ability to bounce back and learn from failure.
Not every athlete can make a Division 1 roster. But everyone who's played sports can take the experience and chart a path to success in other areas of life. Written by someone who's done precisely that, The Way of the Athlete is a guide to getting the most from the lessons that sports have to teach us.
Members Reviews:
I highly recommend the book
I was five ft five inches tall when I was a teenager and weighed no more than 130lbs. By applying a number of the principles put forth in this book I was able to play competitive basketball through junior college. The principles that I learned through playing sports have served me well both in my family relationships and fifty-seven years and still working as a successful research scientist. This book does an outstanding job of showing by examples how sports build character for being successful at whatever you do. I highly recommend the book, particularly for young adults. Like Rob Pate, I am an Auburn gratulate where I was very well prepared academically for the future.
