"Containing gems of biographical information not available elsewhere, this presents inspirational readings on how sports can make a significant difference and teach 'life lessons'" -- Library Journal "An engaging collection... Her advice comes from leaders who are masters of the power game, but the lessons are for us all." -- Bloomberg Businessweek "Come to Win is an athlete-driven project based on a refreshing concept - curiosity about what makes other people tick... Successful people don't always win, but they nearly always learn something useful when they lose. It's a timeless message." -- ESPN.com "Contributors offer advice on how to learn from losses, block out distractions, and visualize a course of action. Solid advice from a wide and varied A-list of contributors." -- Booklist "A book written by former sportsmen and women who then made good in the world of commerce and politics [is] a welcome addition. Come to Win promises to be just that." -- Financial Times (UK)
