Non-Fiction Memoir
Avery Johnson is a coach, a teacher, and sometimes even a
preacher, but most of all, he is a motivator, driving his
team with the same fiery passion that allowed him to earn
his championship credentials as an NBA player. Growing up in
New Orleans's Lafitte Housing Project, he was never the
biggest, fastest, or strongest, but by the strength of his
will and character, he persevered. Now he offers the lessons
he learned on his journey from the bottom of the bayou to
the heights of success in this inspiring book. Aspire Higher is the essential game plan for reaching your
goals. Johnson begins by outlining what it takes to get to
the top: determination and discipline provide the foundation
that allows you to make the right decisions, on the
basketball court or in the boardroom. The goal isn't just to
be successful, however; it's also about caring for other
people along the way. “I care about you more than I care
about winning,” Johnson often tells his players. Avery Johnson's personal and professional experiences
illuminate crucial lessons, inspiring readers just as he has
inspired teammates and players. His spirited message is for
anyone looking for the tools and secrets of success in
business, school, sports, and more—anyone looking to aspire
higher.
