In his first memoir written especially for young readers, Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar will focus on his relationships with several important
coaches in his life - including his father, his high-school coach
and Coach Wooden - as he tells the story of his life and career. At
one time, Lew Alcindor was just another kid from New York City with
all the usual problems: He struggled with fitting in, with pleasing
a strict father, and with overcoming shyness that made him feel
socially awkward. But with a talent for basketball, and an
unmatched team of supporters, Lew Alcindor was able to transform
and to become Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. From a childhood made difficult
by racism and prejudice to a record-smashing career on the
basketball court as an adult, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's life was packed
with "coaches" who taught him right from wrong and led him on the
path to greatness. His parents, coaches Jack Donahue and John
Wooden, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, and many others played important
roles in Abdul-Jabbar's life and sparked him to become an activist
for social change and advancement. The inspiration from those
around him, and his drive to find his own path in life, are
highlighted in this personal and awe-inspiriting journey.
