About this product

Product Information

You don't have to be a star athlete to take away valuable lessons from the world of sports--whether it's learning how to get along with others, to never give up, to be gracious in victory and defeat, even knowing when to throw in the towel. Each interview conducted by Brian Kilmeade reveals personal stories of the defining sports moments in the lives of athletes, CEOs, actors, politicians, and historical figures. Men and women, pros and amateurs alike, explain how the discipline and rules they learned on the field prepared them to handle life and overcome adversity with dignity and sportsmanship. Some of the world's greatest athletes share their insights learned through the sweat of competition, the tears of defeat, and the heady excitement of victory--from the elation of future NFL star quarterback Terry Bradshaw on the day he threw his first perfect spiral after weeks of trying, to the scary day a determined young model named Beth Ostrosky got her front teeth knocked out in a high school basketball game, and the unusual turn of events that kept her in the contest. Surprising, entertaining, and always imparting an important life lesson, It's How You Play the Game features more than ninety anecdotes and vignettes from men and women such as wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and gymnast Kerri Strug, historical figures Abraham Lincoln and General George Patton, grassroots greats Rudy Ruettiger of Notre Dame and Coach Ken Carter, and many more. These recollections are sure to benefit any reader, whether an aspiring athlete or a sideline sports fan--it's the ideal gift for kids of all ages. As Kilmeade writes, "Regardless of who you are, what era you played, what sport you chose, or how much success you achieved, playing the game is all about getting you ready for life. Winning or losing has little to do with who you will become. Instead, it's how you prepared for the game that determines whether you'll be a winner or loser in life." So while the games do count--in life as in sports, it's how you play the game that matters.

The dark-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy's new book:
I was a little worried when I first saw this book displayed on a TV show, and that is was supposedly written by the dark-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy, but it turned out to be a pleasurable read! The book itself is quite long for a sports book, which is helped by the fact that it is broken up into easily manageable stories. Another nice thing about it is that it is from a wide variety of individuals that the dark-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy interviewed. I had really expected it to be nothing but sports heroes spouting "You have to give it 110%" or "My sport good!". Fortunately, the dark-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy did an excellent job of compiling interesting lessons, with just a general theme of sports, and how they shape you as you mature. My complements to the dark-haired guy who is not Steve Doocy for writing an easy to read, morally relevant, enjoyable book!Read full review

Not really a sports fan,, I bought this book on the strength of Mark Levin's interview with Kilmeade on Levin's radio program. Glad I did. The book is full of truly inspirational stories. Kilmeade shows a side of the "heroes", past and present, who overcame obstacles and adversity and downright failure to become icons of their chosen fields. While the majority are sports figures, Kilmeade also includes many others who have made their mark in history. An easy read, and thoroughly enjoyable book.
