Author Shannon Beasley Taitt's Get Your Head in the Game is a hard-hitting "playbook" in which life and basketball are masterfully merged to inspire and coach you toward life-altering strategies for living the life of a champion. In this powerful literary work, Shannon will teach you how to win when facing life's challenges through her artful intertwining of life lessons and basketball - just as her remarkable mother Mable Beasley, a basketball and volleyball coach and high school physical education teacher of 36 years taught her. Shannon shares countless lessons each of us can learn not just through the metaphoric value of the game of basketball, but also from our own fouls, rebounds, wins and losses. Through her mother's life, she gained a solid understanding of how to set goals, take chances, overcome adversity, and celebrate victories, and now she's sharing some of those life lessons with you. From stories of hardship and pain to love and healing, you will be able to identify with this book from beginning to end.
