REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY: 10 Championship TraitsREFUSE TO BE ORDINARY takes the reader inside the locker room, inside the huddle of final timeouts, inside the American classroom, and inside the head of a veteran teacher who was inspired by the unique young men and women he taught and coached. Coach Dennis King combines a life-time of observation, reflection, and personal stories of inspiration to reveal an intense slice of high school basketball never before documented with such a specific lens. A champion is a student infected by a dream whose passion, discipline, competitiveness, poise, pride, humility, character, confidence, and courage separate him from the ranks of the ordinary. The author of REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY is not a celebrity coach who has written a book trying to cash in on a recent national championship. He's a blue-collar teacher/coach whose entire career has been spent in the trenches of public education devoted to the grassroots mission of helping young people reach their full potential.10 CHAMPIONSHIP TRAITS:DREAMS - Champions dream in high definition.PASSION - Champions self-ignite.COMPETITIVENESS - Champions crave challenges.DISCIPLINE - Champions embrace repetition, habit and sacrifice.POISE - Champions relax.PRIDE - Champions care.HUMILITY - Champions show gratitude.CONFIDENCE- Champions visualize victory.CHARACTER - Champions choose right.COURAGE- Champions conquer fear.
