Porter Moser brings decades of basketball coaching experience to this motivational guide about living with complete dedication. The Oklahoma men's basketball head coach draws from his journey as player, coach, son, husband, and father to demonstrate how core values of faith, family, honesty, and integrity shape both athletic and personal success. Moser reveals his development of an all-positive, no-negativity approach to coaching and life. He describes how legendary coach Rick Majerus provided a crucial second opportunity that elevated his career. The book chronicles his 2018 achievement guiding the No. 11 seed Loyola Ramblers through their remarkable Cinderella run in college basketball. Moser shows readers how determination, passion, and grit translate into practical strategies for recruiting, hiring, running practices, and daily living. With a foreword from Sr. Jean, the centenarian Loyola Ramblers chaplain, the book targets athletes, coaches, recruiters, sports fans, and anyone seeking leadership skills for competition or life.
