{"product_id":"journey-to-a-medal-bill-richardson-9781979618489","title":"Journey to a Medal: Winning the Basketball Bronze at the National Senior Games","description":"If you want to read and enjoy a book about a passionate love affair, then this is the book for you. Dear basketball, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. My love for basketball is couched in uplifting and inspiring optimism that will leave the readers feeling a little envious of this epic romance. I've loved the sport everywhere I've been - different countries, many states, several senior centers, tournaments everywhere - watching it and playing it has brought me a sense of joy and fulfillment that those who love or have loved any sport will understand. I try and sprinkle a variety of self-deprecating, insightful, ironic and a little noir humor throughout the book, because if you can't laugh at life's experiences, then there is a missing element to one's existence. In addition, I work to make a connection between basketball and my personal ideals mainly concerning equality, inclusion, fairness and a burning desire to be successful at this sport. A major theme in the book is the journey of eight aging players who have chased and dreamed of winning a medal in the National Senior Games for over twenty-years with no success and time running out. Much of this book is their story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1979618488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781979618489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Bill Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49166054949119,"sku":"9781979618489","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journey-to-a-medal-bill-richardson-9781979618489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
