Book SynopsisFor three decades, David Wright has coached international swimmers who began their swimming careers in his Learn to Swim program, and this book is based on his experience guiding these swimmers. Wright saw many pitfalls that resulted in the sport losing 80% of its participants in their early teenage years—pitfalls that resulted in swimmers ending their careers broken and disillusioned. Shaping Successful Junior Swimmers examines the nature of the sport’s early dropout rate and proposes steps to correct the problem. It discusses qualities that should be present in good conditioning and speed training programs as well as why these qualities encourage continued participation and championship performance.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Unbreakable
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Jay has always been there for me. I’m extremely grateful to have learned from someone with such great wisdom…. Jay Glazer isn’t just a great friend, he’s family too. He is honest, uplifting, and hilarious, and there is no shortage of those qualities in UNBREAKABLE.” — Demi Lovato “When you meet Jay Glazer, it’s hard to believe that there’s anything that could stop the guy. He’s the ultimate insider, the consummate hustler, a fiery advocate, and a loyal friend. So it’s all the more heroic how he’s pushed through intense bouts of doubt, anxiety, and depression to reach such heights. We can all benefit from Jay’s story, both personally and professionally. He’s more than just a great head of hair…. He’s UNBREAKABLE.” — Guy Fieri, celebrity chef and restaurateur “Jay Glazer is much more than the NFL insider you see on television every Sunday, he’s a confidant. For many of us in the league, Jay’s loyalty goes far beyond football. He’s helped me personally and professionally, proving just how unbreakable he is. He has an unbreakable spirit. He has unbreakable work ethic. He is UNBREAKABLE. In a world full of adversity, his is an inspiring story of perseverance.” — Mike Tomlin, head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers “As a former soldier and professional fighter, mental toughness is a commodity that has allowed me to thrive in a sometimes-brutal world. Finding a loyal and trusted friend to share life’s amazing journey with has been difficult. Jay Glazer became that person for me. Through Jay’s UNBREAKABLE, you have the opportunity to see firsthand how honesty, loyalty, hard work, and humility can help overcome any obstacle and turn personal adversity into tremendous success! Jay has sown countless seeds into the hearts of many with his openness and genuine personality. Thank you, Jay, for your amazing friendship.” — Randy Couture, actor and former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion, UFC Hall of Famer “Jay Glazer has lived Unbreakable his entire life. More importantly, behind the grit and toughness is a compassionate and warm human being. Everyone who’s had a chance to get to know him would repeat the same stories of trust, reliability, and loyalty. It’s simply how he is wired, and I’m quite sure you’ll feel that in Unbreakable.” — Sean Payton, head couch of the New Orleans Saints “As a woman, veteran, and athlete, forged by tough love, I initially underestimated just how much Jay’s friendship, mentorship, and insights into mental toughness and vulnerability would shape my life. Unbreakable encourages readers to unlock their potential, lean into the uncomfortable, and stand proud of what makes them different.” — Kirstie Ennis, U.S. Marine Corps sergeant and door gunner, Paralympic snowboarding athlete, first female above-the-knee amputee to summit Mount Kilimanjaro “Jay is real, and that is what makes him great. But what’s consistent about Jay is his loyalty. You can ALWAYS count on him. Unbreakable reminds me of this: Jay’s can-do and will-do attitude. In a world of ‘what have you done for me lately’ or ‘what can you do for me now,’ Jay stands out as a real one.” — Chuck Liddell, former UFC light heavyweight champion, UFC Hall of Famer “Jay’s a fighter, in every sense of the word. He’s not only Unbreakable; he’s an underdog who believes in people so much that it helps them believe in themselves. I am one of those people.” — Nate Boyer, Green Beret, Bronze Star recipient, former Seattle Seahawk “Jay Glazer helps people look forward and know that it’s okay to be different, because we all are. Unbreakable is inspiring and motivational. It teaches people that the phrase ‘I got your back’ is for always, and that you are never alone.” — Royce Gracie, first-ever UFC champion, UFC Hall of Famer, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner “Jay has always had an unmatched passion and desire to help others, but as Jay’s friend and business partner, what has been so amazing is witnessing his personal growth. In Unbreakable, his ability to help others has been elevated to a whole new level.” — Lindsey Berg, two-time captain of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Volleyball team, and two-time silver medalist “This book is one of the most meaningful books I’ve ever read. It’s raw and real, coupled with compelling writing and entertaining moments. Like Jay Glazer, Unbreakable is also one of a kind. Read it and become Unbreakable!” — Jon Gordon, twelve-time bestselling author of twenty-four books, including The Energy Bus “Jay Glazer sits at the intersection of authenticity and heart in everything he does. Jay has impacted many lives with his genuine vulnerability and grit, creating a space of belonging for those around him. Unbreakable is no different, offering an impassioned invitation to be and to own your own unique self with everything you do.” — Kami Craig, two-time Olympic gold medalist in water polo “From the day I met Jay Glazer, I recognized his ability to turn scars into superpowers. He is an inspiring example of a kind character who sets an example of wearing one’s adversities like badges of honor and embracing one’s vulnerability as a signature of human courage. Unbreakable proves this fantastically.” — Hayley Paige, famed wedding gown designer

Mariner Books Coach K
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe definitive biography of college basketball’s all-time winningest coach, Mike Krzyzewski.Mike Krzyzewski, known worldwide as “Coach K,” is a five-time national champion at Duke, the NCAA’s all-time leader in victories with nearly 1,200, and the first man to lead Team USA to three Olympic basketball gold medals. Through unprecedented access to Krzyzewski’s best friends, closest advisers, fiercest adversaries, and generations of his players and assistants, three-time New York Times bestselling author Ian O’Connor takes you behind the Blue Devil curtain with a penetrating examination of the great but flawed leader as he closes out his iconic career.Krzyzewski built a staggering basketball empire that has endured for more than four decades, placing him among the all-time titans of American sport, and yet there has never been a defining portrait of the coach and his program. Until now. O’Connor uses scores of interviews with those who know Krzyzewski best to deliver previously untold stories about the relationships that define the venerable Coach K, including the one with his volcanic mentor, Bob Knight, that died a premature death. Krzyzewski was always driven by an inner rage fueled by his tough Chicago upbringing, and by the blue-collar Polish-American parents who raised him to fight for a better life. With updated coverage of Coach K’s stunning final season, O’Connor shows you sides of the man and his methods that will surprise even the most dedicated Duke fan.“Basketball fans might feel as though they already know Coach K—or Mike Krzyzewski, the decades-long coach of the Duke Blue Devils who’s set to retire after this season. In this insightful biography, sportswriter O’Connor captures the formative experiences and inner drive that catapulted the coach to icon status. Even the most die-hard fans will learn something.” — Washington Post
