Synopsis

The lessons learned in sport are universal. Whether your goal is to further your career, build a successful marriage, or climb Mt Everest, qualities like focus, persistence, teamwork and trust are essential. Bill Leach and Ted Newland have gathered together 45 anecdotes from their long experience in the world of water polo, Olympic Kayaking and Triathlon. In these short and entertaining stories you will read about the struggles and triumphs of this world-class athlete and championship coach. You will discover the twelve qualities essential for success, and will be encouraged and edified by the accompanying quotations on every page. In his forward to the book, Emmy-award-winning broadcast journalist Hugh Hewitt says of Newland and Leach: "...they have something important to say to everyone who values success in their lives. They know about training the body, but they speak about training one's life". Reading Circle of Success will give you confidence and help you reach your own goals.
