"They don't know me. They don't know what I'm capable of."
Diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder, a form of autism,
as a toddler, Anthony Ianni wasn't expected to succeed in school or
participate in sports, but he had other ideas. As a child, Ianni
told anybody who would listen, including head coach Tom Izzo, that
he would one day play for the Michigan State Spartans. Centered:
Autism, Basketball, and One Athlete's Dreams is the firsthand
account of a young man's social, academic, and athletic struggles
and his determination to reach his goals. In this remarkable
memoir, Ianni reflects on his experiences with both basketball and
the autism spectrum. Centered, an inspirational sports story in the
vein of Rudy, reveals Ianni to be unflinching in his honesty,
generous in his gratitude, and gracious in his compassion. Sports
fans will root for the underdog. Parents, teachers, and coaches
will gain insight into the experience of an autistic child. And
everyone will triumph in the achievements of Centered.
