What do Henry Kissinger, Jack Welch, Condoleezza Rice, and Jon Bon Jovi
have in common? They have all reached the top of their respective
professions, and they all credit sports for teaching them the lessons
that were fundamental to their success. In his years spent interviewing
and profiling celebrities, politicians, and top businesspeople, popular
sportscaster and Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade has discovered
that nearly everyone shares a love of sports and has a story about how a
game, a coach, or a single moment of competition changed his or her
life.
These vignettes have entertained, surprised, and inspired readers
nationwide with their insight into America's most respected and
well-known personalities. Kilmeade presents more than seventy stories
straight from the men and women themselves and those who were closest to
them. From competition to camaraderie, individual achievement to
teamwork, failure to success, the world of sports encompasses it all and
enriches our lives. The Games Do Count reveals this simple and
compelling truth: America's best and brightest haven't just worked hard
-- they've played hard -- and the results have been staggering!
