Recensioni editoriali
The Chicken Soup for the Soul series turns to the game of hoops in Chicken Soup for the Soul - Inside Basketball: 101 Great Hoop Stories from Players, Coaches, and Fans.
Edited by series co-founders Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen and Orlando Magic co-founder Pat Williams, this book collects stories about practicing faith, confronting fears, and helping others on and off the hard court. In one chapter, a coach tells the true tale of a star recruit who died from a heart ailment and how his team sought inspiration from it. Another story reveals NBA star Jermaine O’Neal’s relationship with a cancer-stricken child.
With a tone reminiscent of a favorite high-school teacher, Kevin Stillwell lets the power of the material take the front seat in an understated but positive performance.
