Kentucky Passion by Del Duduit

Kentucky Passion by Del Duduit

Wildcat Wisdom for the Big Blue Nation! For more than a century, the University of Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team has built a winning tradition that feeds the Big Blue Nation. The history of the winningest program in college basketball is peppered with unforgettable moments and personalities. In Kentucky Passion, Del Duduit and John Huang help fans reexperience some of the most memorable seasons and shots and meet key players and coaches. Readers will learn how they too can rise to challenges and find success through the inspiring stories from Wildcat history. Weekly stories showcasing legendary coaches including Adolph Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith, and John Calipari, standout players including John Wall, Kyle Macy, DeAndre Liggins, Goose Givens, and Aaron Harrison, and indelible highs and lows (yes, the BBN still hates Laettner) illustrate the value of persistence, hard work, resiliency, teamwork, and more. Kentucky Passion is for every citizen of the Big Blue Nation and for every sports fan who relishes well-deserved victories, moans at surprise defeats, or wants to learn more about one of the most storied teams in college sports.

I've read a lot of books about sports over the years and am thrilled to recommendKentucky Passion: Wildcat Wisdom and Inspiration to anyone who loves Kentucky, all sports fans, or anyone prepared for a book that will challenge you in a practical wayWhat makes Del Duduit and Dr. John Huang's work so unique is it really brings sports back home and centers them in a place that has relevance to who we are and want to be. In our overly active lives it's easy to lose sight of what really matters and this book is all about that.
