Step Up Your Game: A Playbook for the Next Generation Hero

Life moves quickly, and the choices you make can propel you into a great life - or one that leaves you cold. In Step Up Your Game, Sharm Scheuerman shares his experiences as a star player, young coach, son to a widowed mother, friend, professional, bachelor, husband, and seeker of Truth. He asks you to consider tough questions while you still have time to decide who you are and what your legacy will be. Coach Sharm believed that every day is a new chance to be a hero. Your integrity, your character, and your faith can shape the world you experience. It doesn't matter where you've been - as long as you know where you're going. Coach Sharm says it's time to play. Are you game?

Sharm Scheuerman was a member of the celebrated 1954-56 University of Iowa Hawkeyes basketball "Fab Five" and became the youngest head basketball coach in NCAA Division I history at the age of 24. His nickname in the press was "The Iceman" because of his ability to keep his cool under intense court pressure. Sharm and his wife, Kathy, founded Basketball Club International (BCI) in 2004 - a nonprofit goodwill and outreach organization that supports integrity, character, and faith within professional and youth basketball communities.

Sharm passed away in 2010 at the age of 76, believing that God blessed him with a life full of opportunities to have a positive impact on others. His passionate work with Young Life, Athletes in Action, the USA team in the Pan Am games, and BCI has inspired many - on and off the court.
