Author: Lincoln Phillips
Selection Statement:
I selected this book because the author, Lincoln Phillips, painted an enduring picture in my mind regarding methods and strategies he used to persevere against challenges and obstacles, including racially discriminatory practices during the Civil Rights era. As a result of his resilient mindset and strong social network, he acquired several career achievements, including being the first Black collegiate head coach to win a Division I NCAA title in the 1970s.
