Game-changing wisdom on adversity, leadership and life from the pioneering coach and Nike executive George Raveling, coauthored by bestselling author of The Daily Stoic, Ryan Holiday.

George Raveling knows all about beating the odds. A living legend, he has been a game-changing basketball coach, stood at the side of Martin Luther King Jr, mentored Michael Jordan and shaped the world of sports as a Director at Nike. But his life began in the shadow of segregation, death and mental illness.

Here, he teams up with bestselling author Ryan Holiday to share the lessons drawn from his extraordinary life and career.

This is not a memoir, but a blueprint for anyone who wants to overcome obstacles and achieve success on their own terms. You’ll find strategies for discovering purpose, insights on how to keep evolving and growing, advice for building meaningful connections, and tactics to compound daily victories into your greatest achievements.

From finding a mentor to building a legacy, this book provides tools to not just navigate life, but to live it with intention and impact.

And it all starts with the question: what are you made for?
