Athletics is a metaphor for life; that's why "Move Without the
Ball" is not just for athletes. Anyone who has ever been involved
in the pursuit of excellence understands the need for dedication,
perseverance, and sacrifice. Everyday, young adults are bombarded
with images and stories of extreme wealth and fame -- be it in
sports, music, or Hollywood. Their vision of success can become
limited to these areas, and they lose focus on developing other
talents and skills. A reality check is in order, because the odds
are fifty thousand to one that a student athlete will play in the
NBA, and similar odds apply to aspiring singers and actors who
expect they will be the next superstar. The upside is that there is
a much bigger world out there for young people to explore and
succeed in, and "Move Without the Ball" serves as the guidebook.
Stedman Graham -- businessman, lecturer, and author of the "New
York Times" bestsellers "Teens Can Make It Happen" and "You Can
Make It Happen" -- speaks honestly and directly to teens from his
own experience. A former European professional athlete who never
achieved his dream of playing in the NBA, Graham understands the
pressures and temptations young people face. He discovered that
there is a process for building success in many areas of one's
life, and he has spent the last twenty years sharing this process
with young people.
The book overflows with powerful and inspiring stories and
photographs of sports stars of yesterday and today, including Hank
Aaron, Greg Norman, Magic Johnson, Mia Hamm, Pele, Dave Winfield,
Serena Williams, Bo Jackson, and Cal Ripken Jr. -- just to name a
few. It's not just these pros' athleticism that's highlighted in
"Move Without the Ball, " it's the winning combination of courage,
self-discipline, sense of purpose, and passion that they bring to
their lives everyday -- both on and off the field.
