One man's odyssey from skid row to rebuilding a major collegiate
sports program. In Making Your Own Luck, former Indiana University
athletic director Fred Glass recounts how even a self-described
"knucklehead" learned to be prepared to recognize and seize
opportunities and thus make his own luck through life. Growing up
in a skid row bar, having an alcoholic father, struggling with
anxiety and self-doubt, and making his share of stupid mistakes,
Glass had much to contend with in early life. However, supported by
socially enlightened parents, a Jesuit education, and his soulmate,
Barbara, his odyssey has led him to serve a mayor, a governor, a
senator, and even a president. With great humor and insightful
reflection, Glass details how he helped keep the Colts in
Indianapolis-he spearheaded a massive convention center expansion
and the building of Lucas Oil Stadium and even helped to attract
the Super Bowl to his hometown. Any of these accomplishments
individually would be more than enough to call Glass's career a
resounding success, but they were only the beginning. In the latest
stage of his journey, Glass led the rebuilding of the athletic
program of his beloved alma mater, Indiana University. Featuring a
foreword from IU alumnus and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark
Cuban, Making Your Own Luck is a must-read not only for Indiana
sports fans, but for anyone that recognizes the importance of
preparation, opportunity and action in creating your own success.
