It's How You Play the Game - by Brian Kilmeade (Paperback)

About the Book

From the Back Cover

In life as in sports, it's how you play the game that matters

You don't have to be a star athlete to take away valuable lessons from the world of sports, whether it's learning how to get along with others, to never give up, or to be gracious in victory and defeat. In this companion volume to his New York Times bestseller, The Games Do Count, Brian Kilmeade reveals personal stories of the defining sports moments in the lives of athletes, CEOs, actors, politicians, and historical figures--and how what they learned on the field prepared them to handle life and overcome adversity with courage, dignity, and sportsmanship.
