Coaching advise from athletic coaches.......2007-06-27

A fun read, especially if yoiu're a sports fan. I read it in search of things that would help my own ability as a coach in my company. Much of it is light stuff but the easy read makes it fun nonetheless and there are few golden nuggets laced throughout the book.

Overcome Adversity.......2007-04-12

Anyone looking for inspiration, either for their own life or to share with others, will find a gold mine of quotes here. This book isn't just for sports fans.

Inspiration.......2007-01-27

I have never read a more inspirational book in my life. Before, I never realized how much other people have struggled the way I have in life, and have actually succeeded! It was great for me to see that and to know that there are other people in the world with great adversity in their life and have come out on top due to hard work and great leadership. This book isn't for just sports fans, it's for all who are looking for great advice in the real world and need a little tap on the back saying that everything is and will be okay! This book is great for all ages and for any occupation!

good.......2007-01-18

As a coach I will use many things I found in this book. Wasn't everything it could have been but still a great read.

A great inspirational source.......2007-01-17

I purchased this book while I was searching for a "golden nugget" for a speech I was preparing for high school students. What I found was an entire gold mine of inspirational quotes and ideas! I truly enjoyed this book, and found many bits and pieces that I will share with others. I've already purchased a gift copy, and have shared mine with several others. I would highly recommend "How To Succeed In The Game of Life" to high school and college coaches, teachers, counselors, ministers, and parents....anyone who is in the business of working with young people and advising them as they navigate the difficult road to their future. There's plenty within for the "older folks" who need to be re-inspired in their own lives as well.

This April Day

Book Description

Poetry: "This April Day" is a meditation, an elegy, a good joke...

"Judson Mitcham is, to use his own fine phrase, a "comedian of innocence." And in his new book he shows himself to be a comedian of experience as well. I can't think of a poet in America today who is writing more movingly or with a greater depth of humor. His poems can inspire tears or laughter. Often both." — Mark Jarman

A Beautiful Collection.......2005-07-22

I first tracked this book down because it contains a poem that I first came across in Poetry magazine which has become one of my favorite poems. The poem is called, "The Foolishness of God Is Wiser Than Men." In it, Mitcham takes on "God's editors [who] erased what they thought not right:/...how Jesus laughed." He gives us wonderful images of a laughing Christ who is human but no less divine for sharing this most human of reactions. Wonderful!

It is impossible to find a collection of poems where all the poetry is of the highest quality but Mr. Mitcham comes pretty close. I found many of these poems to be very well done; in particular, "History of Rain," "Comedian," "The Funerals of Strangers," "Together" and "Calvin's Wife." I also very much enjoyed another poem on the theme of laughter called (surprise) "Laughter." In this poem we are given accounts of laughter in the face of horror and tragedy which are very moving, especially in the first three sections.

There are a number of recurring themes in these poems: the loss of his father, the placement of his mother in a nursing home and the solaces of religion. Ultimately, however, there is a joy and gentleness that is an undercurrent to these poems that brings you back to them despite the presence of loss and death. This is a very fine collection.
