Resumen del Editor
A legendary NBA player shares his remarkable story, infused with hard-earned wisdom about the journey to self-mastery from a life at the highest level of professional sports
Chris Bosh, NBA Hall of Famer, eleven-time All-Star, two-time NBA champion, Olympic gold medalist, and the league’s Global Ambassador, had his playing days cut short at their prime by a freak medical condition. His extraordinary career ended “in a doctor’s office in the middle of the afternoon.” Forced to reckon with moving forward, he found himself looking back over the course he'd taken, to the pinnacle of the NBA and beyond.
Reflecting on all he had learned from a long list of basketball legends, from LeBron and Kobe to Pat Riley and Coach K, he saw that his important lessons weren’t about basketball so much as the inner game of success - right attitude, right commitment, right flow within a team. Now he shares that journey, giving us a view from the inside of what greatness feels like and what it takes. Letters to a Young Athlete offers a proven path for taming your inner voice and making it your ally, through the challenges of failure and success alike.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"I highly recommend [Letters to a Young Athlete] if you have a kid interested in basketball or if you yourself want to know a little bit more about what it takes to become a champion in any aspect of your life.” (Rachel Nichols, ESPN)
“Chris Bosh, one of the smartest pro athletes of my life...goes deep on so many topics.... [Letters to a Young Athlete] is so smart, so thoughtful.” (Colin Cowherd)
“On the court, Chris Bosh was a rare superstar who put his team above himself. His book is a wise, candid look behind the scenes at what made him great and how he made others even greater. It should be required reading for up-and-coming athletes - and their parents, teachers, and coaches, too.” (Adam Grant, number one New York Times best-selling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife)

Here, in Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky."

When John U. Bacon played for the Ann Arbor Huron High School River Rats, he never scored a goal. Yet somehow, years later he found himself leading his alma mater’s downtrodden program. How bad? The team hadn’t won a game in over a year, making them the nation’s worst squad. With almost everyone expecting more failure, Bacon made it special to play for Huron by making it hard, which inspired the players to excel. Then he defied conventional wisdom again by putting the players in charge of team discipline, goal-setting, and even decision-making—and it worked.

In a game defined by big stakes and bigger egos, rabid fans and an unforgiving media, Karl was hired and fired a dozen times.

The training to become a fighter pilot is among the most competitive and difficult in the world with less than one-in-a-thousand succeeding. Pushing a cutting-edge jet to its limits at over 1,000 mph means that every split-second decision can have catastrophic consequences. This extreme environment has forged a group of warriors who for the last 50 years have been considered at the apex of decision-making theory and practice. In The Art of Clear Thinking Hasard Lee distills what he’s learned during his career flying some of the Air Force’s most advanced aircraft.

“In the spring of 1936, a writer planted roses.” So begins Rebecca Solnit’s new book, a reflection on George Orwell’s passionate gardening and the way that his involvement with plants, particularly flowers, illuminates his other commitments as a writer and antifascist, and on the intertwined politics of nature and power. Sparked by her unexpected encounter with the roses he reportedly planted in 1936, Solnit’s account of this overlooked aspect of Orwell’s life journeys through his writing and his actions.

Surprised & blown away… give this book to your teenagers! And then read it yourself when they’re finished!
I picked this booking thinking it would be more biographical rather than a literal book of advice to students & student athletes (take the title literally!)
Shortly into the book, when I realised it was the latter, I ALMOST stopped listening… I’m so pleased that I didn’t. This book was full of sage advice, anecdotes and relatable stories for any person - young or old.
I learned a lot from this book and it challenged my thinking on leadership, work ethic, and mental toughness. Chris Bosh has lived a full life and has plenty of experience to draw on when he gives advice and makes his points.
Now, if only I could go back in time and give this book to my 15yo self - I think it would have been a game changer.

This should be required reading!
I'll start by saying that I'm not much of a non-fiction reader. but i listened to this book in awe. I've talked about it to everyone I've talked to even before I finished it. The themes that he emphasizes are applicable to life in general although his examples are sports (basketball) driven. I feel that i will come back to certain letters again and again!
