I Feel Great and You Will Too! Book

When Pat Croce choreographed the purchase of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996-the latest stop on a long and wild journey-he proved that dreams really do come true. And two months later, when he excitedly high-fived stunned NBA team owners after winning the nationally televised NBA draft lottery, he infused a passion into team ownership that is as entertaining and original as it is unstoppable. But that's what Pat Croce is all about: energy, passion, laughter, and dreams. A little bit of Yin, and a whole lot of Yang. A pioneer in the sports physical therapy industry, Croce went from the training room to the board room in one of the most unlikely stories in sports history-a classic rags to riches tale that was made possible by his rock solid upbringing and his indestructible positive attitude. Through goal setting and creative planning, hard work and sacrifice, fortuitous friendships and undying loyalty-and, most importantly, by constantly having fun-Croce beat the odds and scored big. I Feel Great! is more than just the story of one man's remarkable journey. At times moving, often hilarious, sometimes downright bawdy, but always brutally honest, this book offers a lifetime of inspiring lessons. With the same high-energy and highly entertaining style that has made him a favorite motivational speaker of everyone from grade school children to Fortune 500 executives, Croce recounts the moments that taught him to strive for greatness, to expect greatness, and to achieve greatness. But greatness does not come without obstacles. Croce suffered a tragic motorcycle accident in the summer of 1999 that almost cost him his leg, but which also gave him the biggest challenge of his life-a harrowing recovery period marked by a barely avoided amputation, a challenge to his core beliefs, and ultimately, triumph. Featured throughout I Feel Great are "Pat Croce Pointers" which emphasize valuable lessons on goal-setting, sales and marketing, communication, creative thinking, desire, dedication, and much more. Croce also includes his "Ten Commandments of Customer Service," the same guidelines he's used to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the sports industry. With wisdom, insight, and humor on every page, I Feel Great is an invaluable blueprint for business and for life.Read More
