As part of this week's "Best of Literary Lunches," former Grand Forks Central teacher and coach Serge Gambucci read yesterday from America's Coach: Life Lesson & Wisdom for Gold Medal Success; A Biographical Journey of the Late Hockey Icon Herb Brooks by Ross Bernstein.
Check out a bit about the book below:
The inspirational story of legendary coach Herb Brooks comes to life in the pages of “America’s Coach,” a heart-warming motivational biography that celebrates the legacy of a true American hero. As the architect of the fabled 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey “Miracle on Ice,” Brooks showed the world that through hard work, commitment and dedication, dreams really can come true. It doesn’t matter if you know the difference between a blue line and a clothes line, Brooks’ unorthodox ideologies and philosophies on team-building, leadership and motivation can be applied to the real world just as easily as they can to the business world. Follow along as Brooks’ amazing life is chronicled from the frozen ponds of St. Paul’s east side, to the bright lights of New York City, and everywhere in between. Woven throughout this colorful tapestry are anecdotes, quotes, funny stories, and nuggets of wisdom from Brooks himself, which provide a unique insight into the secrets of his success. Best-selling sports author Ross Bernstein, who had actually been working with Brooks on writing a series of motivational books at the time of his tragic passing in 2003, honors the legacy of his late friend and mentor by challenging you to achieve heights you never dreamed possible. And maybe, just maybe, even inspire you to create your own miracles.
Gambucci also read a column by 90-year-old Regina Brett that chronicles lessons she's learned about living. To read the column, click here.
As usual, Gambucci was quick-witted and entertaining....definitely a right choice for the "Best of Literary Lunches" week.
