"Clubbing: Athlete Career Killer™ is visionary
in its conception and scope, and a book whose time has come.
This book series could prove to be one of the most valuable
success systems for athletes ever written. A groundbreaking
fusion of worldly success strategies and street-smart tactics,
this superb book gives athletes a step-by-step blueprint for
staying out of trouble and aiming their compass at extreme
achievement, in sport, in business, and life."
—Bill Cole Testimonial on back cover of Clubbing:
Athlete Career Killer
Stop a potential disaster in a sports career before it even
gets underway. Make sure that character rules the day in any
young athlete's life, so they themselves don't become a character.
Know how to navigate the treacherous ways of a sports career,
at all levels, from all fronts. Clubbing: Athlete Career
Killer: 175 Must-know Tips for Athletes to Avoid Violence
gives readers all of this and more. In 173 jam-packed pages
of smart strategies, Clubbing lays out a step-by-step
approach to handling the inevitable pitfalls that can be thrown
in the path of even the most diligent and thoughtful student-athlete.
Author David Brown writes from a place of wisdom. He himself
was a multi-sport athlete, at a high level. He was a blue-chip
prospect in football, recruited by such perennial college
powerhouses as Ohio State, Wisconsin and Virginia Tech, among
others. David has lived and seen the life paths of athletes
up close and personal, and writes from the inside out to help
protect the career paths of aspiring athletes.
Clubbing is street smart and athlete-friendly. Athletes
and coaches of all levels, in all sports, should own this
book and refer to it often. It offers practical, honest and
character-driven ways to stay safe, respect others and make
sport a better place. The International Mental Game Coaching
Association endorses Clubbing as a vital resource for
anyone in sports. Sports agents should be particularly interested
in this book for their clients, and this should be mandatory
reading for every college freshman athlete.
Athlete Career Killer is the first and only twelve-part
book series dedicated to providing step-by-step solutions
for improving player personal conduct in sports. Clubbing
is hard-hitting. With chapters like Clubbing Can Kill, Headline
Athletes Don't Want, and Ugly Headline, this book tells it
like it is to young athletes. David Brown speaks their language.
The book closes with an important chapter – If Clubbing
You Must – Club Responsibly™. It is a done deal
that many, if not most young athletes will go clubbing, or
at least be out in the public eye at some point. Clubbing
implores these young athletes to think in advance, set intelligent
strategies, have contingency plans and know what to say and
do when trouble shows up.
Clubbing is a character-driven book. Sport needs more
character. This book shows us how that can be achieved. The
International Mental Game Coaching Association applauds David
Brown for this book, and for the vision he has shown for writing
this superb series of twelve books.
This book can be purchased at Amazon.com.
