One and Done: The Korleone Young Story: (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736059708)

This powerful, eloquent, and poetic memoir takes the reader on a journey that reminds us all that we represent far more than what is seen on the surface. Korleone Young, a former prep superstar witnessed the fruition of his greatest dreams, then watched them fade away. Like the agonizing closing seconds of a championship game, Young watched the clock run out on his career, but not on his dreams. This is a reminder that though we all experience setbacks, we were designed to be overcomers and conquerors - not quitters

Young's passionate reflections, as captured by the eloquent wordsmithing of Dr. Harrison, remind us all that our destinies have no endings, just new beginnings. Deeper still, this story is a challenge to re-examine how we differentiate success from failure, and a call to overcome the obstacles and fears that restrict us from reinventing ourselves. In a society that commonly reduces victory to distorted depictions of superficial accoutrement and other accessories that falsely suggest "making it", it is refreshing to hear a story that stresses that there is more value in character than in material wealth.
