"Coaching Your Kids to Be Leaders"
Author: Pat Williams, Foreword by John Wooden

As senior vice president of the Orlando Magic and former general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, Pat Williams knows how to nurture young talent and instill the passion, commitment, and determination necessary to become a champion. After conducting over 800 interviews with leaders at all levels—little league coaches, high school athletic directors, college professors and business professionals—Williams has learned even more.

As an NBA executive, Williams drafted and molded leaders such as Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Maurice Cheeks and Julius Erving. Twelve of his former players have become NBA head coaches and seventeen have become assistant coaches. At home, Pat Williams’ family was his own personal team. As the father of 19 children, fourteen adopted from four foreign nations, Williams discovered the keys to motivate his children to become tomorrow’s leaders in the military, athletics and business.

In COACHING YOUR KIDS TO BE LEADERS: THE KEYS TO UNLOCKING THEIR POTENTIAL, Williams distills his wisdom into Seven Keys to Effective Leadership. Williams says, “It is up to us as parents, coaches, teachers, pastors, youth group advisors, and mentors to inspire and motivate young leaders to build these seven qualities into their lives.”

COACHING YOUR KIDS TO BE LEADERS is the essential guide for all adults who work with and care about young people. Based on his own personal experience and over 800 interviews with today’s leaders—such as General Tommy Franks, Joe Torre, Newt Gingrich, Bobby Bowden, and Todd Shaw of On Track Ministry —Pat Williams shows how adults can motivate and inspire children to avoid common pitfalls and negative peer pressure to become leaders in every area of their lives and succeed in all their future endeavors.
