My Racket, How It Worked Out is the remarkable story of how Ray Allen who grew up in poverty in the mountains of Virginia. After graduating with a poor record in high school, failing marks in spelling and beset with acute stage fright, he joined the Army and ended up teaching in both the aviation and transportation schools. He served for over 20 years as senior pastor of the Blacksburg Baptist Church across the street from Virginia Tech. From this dynamic church, he traveled extensively preaching, teaching, and leading volunteer mission efforts. On these pages you will read exciting transforming mission stories from many lands. There are personal stories from the Sinai Desert, refugee camps in Thailand, travels in Australia, China, the Galapagos Islands and living and traveling in recreational vehicle in and throughout the U.S. and Canada. You will find it hard to put this remarkable life story aside. It is a teen age love story that has lasted over half a century, the story of an avid bass fisherman who fished for fish and men throughout America and the world, and how God took a rather ordinary man from a shanty in the mountains around the world to share a message of grace and hope.

'As elegant and powerful as a Federer backhand ... It’s Kitchen Confidential for tennis.' Ed Caesar 'A really wonderful read ... Conor Niland has delivered an all-timer for tennis and sports journalism' Ashlee Vance 'Conor Niland may only have managed a career-high ranking of 129 – only? that is some achievement in itself! – but The Racket, his account of how he managed this, is up there with the best half-dozen books on tennis ever written.' Geoff Dyer 'I ate this book up ... reveals the sacrifices, commitment and decidedly unglamorous side of life on the tennis circuit' Sinead Moriarty When Conor Niland was 16, he got the chance to hit with Serena Williams at Nick Bollettieri's famed tennis academy. Conor, the Irish junior number one, was feeling a bit homesick. Serena, also 16, already owned her own house beside the academy. Conor Niland knows what it's like when Roger Federer walks into the dressing room ('Ciao, bonjour, hello!'), and he has had the exquisitely terrible experience of facing Novak Djokovic in the world's biggest tennis stadium - while suffering from food poisoning. But he never reached the very top. The Racket is the story of pro tennis's 99%: the players who roam the globe in hope of climbing the rankings and squeaking into the Grand Slam tournaments. It brings us into a world where a few dozen super-rich players - travelling with coaches and physios - share a stage with lonely touring pros whose earnings barely cover their expenses. Painting a vivid picture of the social dynamics on tour, the economics of the game, and the shadows cast by gambling and doping, The Racket is a witty and revealing underdog's memoir and a unique look inside a fascinating hidden world.

"There, You Have It!" is a rare and revealing collection of essays about one woman's roller coaster life. The author takes a humorous look at her childhood antics. You'll cheer for her, as the underdog in the school tennis tournament, and smile as the family boat sinks in the cold waters of Puget Sound. You'll laugh with her as her shoes disintegrate during a formal dinner at the famed Grant Hotel in San Diego; and maybe you will identify with her as she boards a plane and lands in the wrong city. From stealing milk while in kindergarten, to paying the IRS with a check from a closed account, her life has never been dull. The loss of her husband at 27 left her a widow and single mother of four daughters and one son, all under 8 years of age. Stuck in poverty, she was out of step with the rest of the world until a chance encounter changed her life forever. Filled with exciting drama and rich characterization of a bygone era. Travel with the author as she looks back over eighty eventful years on a journey "I really wouldn't have wanted to miss." Rejoice with her as she deals with the irony of life's little setbacks.

In Leading at a Higher Level , Updated Edition, Blanchard and his colleagues bring together everything they've learned about world-class leadership. You'll discover how to create targets and visions based on the "triple bottom line"...and make sure people know who you are, where you're going, and the values that will guide your journey. From start to finish, this book extends Blanchard's breakthrough work on delivering legendary customer service, creating "raving fans," and building "Partnerships for Performance" that empower everyone who works for and with you. Updated throughout, this new edition contains two powerful, important new chapters: one on coaching to create higher-level leaders, and another on creating a higher-level culture throughout your organization. It also offers the definitive, most up-to-date techniques for leading yourself, individuals, teams, and entire organizations. Most importantly, it will help you dig deep within, discover the personal "leadership point of view" all great leaders possess-and apply it throughout your entire life. In Helping People Win at Work , WD-40 Company President/CEO Garry Ridge reveals how his company has used Blanchard's techniques to "Partner for Performance" with every employee, and achieve unprecedented levels of employee engagement and commitment. Ridge introduces WD-40's performance review system, explaining its goals, its features, and the cultural changes it required. Next, Ridge shares his "leadership point of view": what he expects of people, what they can expect of him, and where his beliefs about leadership and motivation came from. Finally, in Part IV, Ken Blanchard explains why WD-40's Partnering for Performance program works so well and how it can work for you, too. This book isn't about cheerleading: it's about transforming performance review one step at a time and reaping record-breaking results!
