In this warm, witty, and engaging book, award-winning author and pioneering athlete (Stanford, first women's pro basketball league) Mariah Burton Nelson offers 26 entertaining and thought-provoking chapters (one for each letter of the alphabet) on discipline, endurance, humility, integrity, joy, mind games, quitting, strength, winning, and other life lessons from the playing fields. She shows readers how to approach life with an athletic mentality, bringing courage, confidence, commitment, leadership, and teamwork to everyday endeavors.
Includes interviews with leaders in business, military, and the arts, quotes from Tiger Woods, Babe Didrikson, Venus Williams, Chamique Holdsclaw, and other sports icons, and a workbook section at the back of each chapter, so it can be used for leadership development programs. Ideal for athletes and aspiring athletes, but also motivational tool for nonathletes and self-defined "klutzes."
The author's primary message: "Think of yourself as an athlete. I guarantee you it will change the way you walk, the way you work, and the decisions you make about leadership, teamwork, and success."

About the Author:
A star basketball player at Stanford University, Mariah Burton Nelson played professionally in Europe and in the first U.S. women's pro league. Now a national expert on sports, success, and leadership, she has written four other ground-breaking books, including Are We Winning Yet? How Women Are Changing Sports and Sports Are Changing Women (Random House 1991) and The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football: Sexism and the American Culture of Sports (Harcourt Brace 1994)
Nelson writes for Newsweek, the Washington Post, the New York Times, USA TODAY, Newsday, Cosmopolitan, Fitness, Redbook, and dozens of other publications, and is a guest on such shows as Today, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, Dateline, Crossfire, and PrimeTime Live.
A humorous, dynamic, and effective keynoter, this outstanding (6'2") speaker uses sports stories, "lessons from the playing fields," business research, current events, and video to show people how to achieve meaningful goals and how to lead and succeed with courage, compassion, commitment, and confidence. She believes that the benefits of athleticism are available to all, and shows people how to apply athletic fundamentals to their everyday lives.
Past-President of the National Speakers Association/Washington, D.C. Area, Nelson is known for her authenticity, originality, and humor. Since 1987, she has been giving customized keynotes on leadership, success, peak performance, and goal-setting to such groups as IBM, Merrill Lynch, Accenture, and hundreds of other companies and associations.
Still an athlete, Nelson swims 2 miles each morning, plays golf, and coaches her mother, Sarah, who holds three Arizona breaststroke records for women aged 75-79.
