Synopsis

How does a basketball star keep himself motivated to be ready to step in and play in a pressure cauldron, in spite of being consigned to the end of the bench? How does an Olympic athlete learn to laugh in the face of her most crushing defeat? How should a soccer player react when he is racially taunted? Why would President Mandela state that it is an honor to meet a tennis player known as the super-brat? These and other stories enthrall the readers and give a glimpse of how ethics and values dramatically play out in public at the highest level of sports.

About the Author

Venkat Srinivasan, a father of two children, whose bedtime stories were about NBA playoffs and Olympic games. He still believes that the two greatest days of his life are June 25, 1983, when India won the cricket World Cup and Father's Day 2014, when Tim Duncan raised his arms amidst confetti dropping from the rafters of the AT&T Center, San Antonio.
