Synopsis

Politics and sports: they’re two of America’s greatest passions. And George Allen—former U.S. Senator, former Virginia Governor, and son of the great NFL coach George Allen, Sr.—brings these two worlds together in his new book, What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports. Having spent his life with one foot in the sports arena and the other in the political arena, Allen brings his unique perspective and experiences to What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports. Through personal stories, anecdotes, and interviews, Allen draws both parallels and contrasts between two of our nation’s favorite passions. From national security, to wasteful government spending, to judicial activism, Allen proves that our government need look no further than the football field, baseball diamond, or basketball court to solve today’s pressing problems. What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports shows what Washington can learn from the greatest moments—and failures—in sports, as well as from the spirit and principles of fair play, hard work, and keeping score.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports

?There are a lot of similarities between sports and life. I ve found that out after being fired from coaching. Who better to explain what Washington can learn from sports than George Allen? He s the son of a Hall of Fame coach, a former player himself, and has had vast experience as a national political figure. Interesting, right between the eyes, great reading!
JON GRUDEN, commentator on Monday Night Footballand former NFL Coach

?The good Governor George Allen shows how sports is all about competition and winning and losing and playing by the rules, while Fedzilla is an unaccountable beast, ripping up the rulebook, eating our most entrepreneurial citizens, and taking this country to hell post haste. Great book, important lessons, and sound advice from a guy who gets it.
TED NUGENT, rock star and best-selling author of Ted, White, and Blue

?George Allen has written a great book that demonstrates a truly unique way to advance conservative ideas. A home run.
PETER SCHWEIZER, best-selling author of Do as I Say (Not as I Do)

?George Allen has great insight into what Washington can learn from the world of sports. The founding fathers worked together as a team in spite of their differences; they understood the importance of a ?balance of power, just as Coach Allen used to preach ?everyone just do your own job and everything else will fall into place and ?be consistent in your responsibilities and take nothing for granted and we will win. Politicians in Washington need to be reminded of their duties, their responsibility to work as a team, and not let the media and polls sway their decisions.
BRIG OWENS, former Washington Redskins defensive back
