Opis

The 6ixth Man is the product of Norman's upbringing in what is now called South Los Angeles. It is a narrative that chronicles specific junctures in the life of a young man who was embarrassed by his intelligence and desperate for an athletic identity that was never quite realized. From inner-city beginnings to Seminary education to competing against NBA competition, Norman Coulter, Jr. learned how to extract life-altering lessons from the triumphs and failures of his own basketball journey. The 6ixth Man is the rumbling of a revolution to train the WHOLE athlete for the sake of the millions who adore them at stadiums and arenas worldwide. The 6ixth Man is the silent waging of war against the pretense that is destroying the ability of sports to positively impact culture. Norman A. Coulter Jr. is a Christian minister, basketball coach and the CEO and Founder of 6ixth Man Curriculum Consulting and Coaching, LLC www.6ixthman.com ENDORSEMENTS The 6ixth Man is a timely and must-read book. It's filled with great stories and tells what sports can do for any person willing to look in the mirror and challenge themselves. Yet, it does more than just testifying, it is a guidebook and workbook offering a blueprint for developing the right mindset, character, and work ethic. It is an inspired work that can't help but to inspire people to become better persons and athletes. Scott N. Brooks, author of Black Men Can't Shoot and assistant professor of sociology at the University of California- Riverside. "An inspiration for anyone who has ever had a dream about attaining something larger than themselves. The 6ixth Man is a touching journey of one man's success by the loss of a dream and the rebirth of another. A must read." Val T. Hill, CEO/President, 16:14 entertainment LLC
