Product Description
All great athletes have an almost superhuman ability to excel under incredible pressure--the 98-yard touchdown drive with no time-outs remaining; the 40-foot eagle putt at the 18th hole. How do they do it? What Makes Winners Win reveals success secrets from over 100 great men and women in sports, including Bruce Jenner, Chris Evert, and Pat Riley, all of whom shared their personal experiences with veteran sportscaster Charlie Jones. Interspersed with eye-opening quotations from winners such as Tiger Woods, Mary Lou Retton, Greg Louganis, and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, What Makes Winners Win brims with advice on assessing the competition, coping with jitters, confronting life-threatening situations, entering the concentration "zone," and keeping your cool during the unexpected. Complemented by recollections from Jones's remarkable career, What Makes Winners Win trains us for excellence in every aspect of life.

I'm very proud of this book. We have discovered that it touches all of our lives. It is not just a sports book, but rather sports is the metaphor for living. Winners have the mind set to win, even when everything seems to be going wrong, they still figure out a way to win. It is fascinating how their minds work. I think you'll really enjoy What Makes Winners Win. ---Charlie Jones, author

This is a great Book! It is full of fun stories about great athletes & Coaches. It is easy to read, with many short chapters, each containing a story. In my opinion, this book is good for just about any age: teens through seniors. It is both inspiring and motivating. It really is a "WINNER" of a read.

This inspiring book features some of the worlds greatest athletes and what made them the winners they became. The threads that weaved through all of these champions seemed to be visualization of the achievement of goals, commitment and focus. This is a great book for anyone that is looking to achieve greatness in any area of their lives.
 book review February 16, 2007
I am always looking for ways to improve my knowledge
on what makes winners tick. This book is full of interesting
quotes but does not attempt to get into the mind of the
stars it quotes from. It is an interesting read and gives no
new insights and therefore is of limited value.
