Defined as the willpower to persevere with passion and a sense of purpose, research shows that grit is what matters most in whether a person succeeds or fails. That same research shows that previous generations had a lot more grit than today's younger generations. This isn't surprising. After all, most of us would agree that those older, wiser, and tougher members of the Greatest Generation are prime examples of what it means to persevere, to never back down, and to make sacrifices for a greater purpose. We could all use more of the OLD SCHOOL GRIT they embraced. In this book, Bob Flanagan represents the voice of old school grit. A legendary college basketball coach who thinks like John Wooden and talks like Mike Ditka, Flanagan is entering the final days of his coaching career. While his team tries to advance through the NCAA postseason tournament, Flanagan uses his last days as a coach to write his grandchildren letters revealing the rules for a successful and happy life. The rules of grit. Though Coach Flanagan's letters are intended for his grandchildren, they might as well be for America in general. This is a man who lives by the old school code of faith, family, courage, and character; and he believes too many people have gone soft these days. They give up on their dreams too easily. They whine, complain, and pass the blame. They spend all their time and energy trying to avoid challenges instead of bucking up and powering through them. Flanagan's letters are a rallying cry for toughening up and building grit. His fifteen rules provide a clear path to success in any endeavor." --Publisher description. 650 0 $a Success. 650 0 $a Success $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Mental discipline. 650 0 $a Resilience (Personality trait) 650 0 $a Toughness (Personality trait) 650 0 $a Sports $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a Mental discipline. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016325 650 7 $a Resilience (Personality trait) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095573 650 7 $a Sports $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130484 650 7 $a Success. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137041 650 7 $a Success $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01137050 650 7 $a Toughness (Personality trait) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153107 800 1 $a Donnelly, Darrin, $d 1978- $t Sports for the soul. 941 $a 1 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204024325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48DCA95266B811EBBCB452E21FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
