Tom Slone understands success. He also understands baseball, business, and the art of mentoring. Tom's multiple areas of expertise, and his willingness to share what he has learned, make "Grounders" a compelling and important book.

But Tom offers us much more. He also knows how to deliver a pithy lesson and make it stick-in part by focusing on the essentials, in part by telling a good story.

In "Grounders," Tom combines the inspiring and entertaining story of a grand baseball journey with 33 essential lessons that all of us (yes, even those of us who are already very successful) can apply in our lives. He also demonstrates, over and over, the life-changing power of mentoring.
