Pat Williams knows success when he sees it-and he saw a lot of it as a general manager of championship professional sports teams. Now he distills his business and personal experiences, the observations of successful celebrities, and pertinent biblical teachings into a strategic guide to success for graduates.Beginning with the legendary Michael Jordan's comeback in the NBA, Williams examines what has made some of history's greatest achievers successful and translates those lessons into practical advice. Play to Win cautions against the hazards of the flip side, quoting personalities from Oprah Winfrey to Bill Gates as they comment on the pitfalls of fame, fortune, power, and pleasure. And he concludes with ten principles to keep students focused on true success over the long haul.Separate editions feature different forewords--one from All-star first baseman Mike Sweeney. Two-color interior design and call-outs combined with the author's encouraging message that "God has given you all the tools you need to be a great success in life" make Play to Win an appealing gift for any grad.
