Publisher's Synopsis
"I vividly remember the first time: My face hitting the ground with a thud. The taste and smell of grass combined with dirt. And then, just as quickly as I had hit the ground, one of my teammates helped me up so I could run again. I spit the dirt and grass out of my mouth, and kept on going. It was my first face plant. As a lacrosse player I learned the importance of getting up quickly when I fell face-first into the grass, or got knocked on my butt. Falling and getting up again-fast: That's what a successful life is all about-and it's also what this book is about." This book will bring tears and ultimate smiles to your face, as well as lessons learned from Heroes and mentors experienced by the author Eric Rieseberg, during his interesting life and successful career. These life lessons were learned not only on the lacrosse field of NCAA division sports teams, but through experiences that only real life brings. Whether in business, love, hard work and failure, the patterns of success that Richie Moran, Renzie Lamb, Jim Dalton, Tom Horton and Bill Kaplan, have practiced and refined and taught over decades to produce successful outcomes and mentor successful people are clearly defined. As a mentor, parent or grandparent.... educator or friend, this book may change the life of someone you care about !Or....even yours !
