Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third printing, see what it took to become the shortest player in Notre Dame football history to carry the ball in a game. Every Play Every Day takes you on the intimate journey of former Notre Dame tailback Timmy O'Neill, who, at 5' 6" and 165 lbs, wasn't the prototypical Division I college football player. Experience the journey from the dorm room to the classroom, from the locker room to the training room, and everywhere in between. Read about the incredible experience of being a college football walk-on; the joy, the pain, and the raw emotion characterizing the inner fight athletes deal with on a daily basis. This book details the lessons learned through O'Neill's five years as a Notre Dame walk-on, and shows what can happen to anyone who refuses to accept the limitations imposed by others. "As a college and professional football player, I've learned that nobody is ever going to hand you the life you imagined, you have to out and fight for it. That's the message conveyed in Timmy's story. Timmy's dream was to play football for Notre Dame, but not matter what you dream is, Every Play Every Day will inspire you to get there." --Tim Brown, 1987 Heisman Trophy winner, NFL 9-time Pro Bowl wide receiver "It's hard enough to play college football as a scholarship player. It takes a rare individual to succeed at Notre Dame as a walk-on. Timmy O'Neill succeeded doing this. You will enjoy his journey." --Lou Holtz, Only college football coach to lead six different programs to bowl games and the only coach to guide four different programs to the final top 20 rankings "Every Play Every Day is filled with Timmy's passion for life and his desire to share what he's learned with others. His language is plain and his message is clear. Timmy understands that hard work and a positive attitude are vital to success in life." --Sean Astin, Star of Rudy and Lord of the Rings "Every Play Every Day is more about not accepting other people's expectations for your life than it is about football. The experiences chronicled in this book truly to apply to everyone." --Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President Emeritus, University of Notre Dame

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A compelling perspective on the evolution of sports business . . . provides an excellent roadmap to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the pitfalls.” —David Stern, NBA Commissioner The businesses behind Dubai Sports City, the branding of David Beckham, and the popularity of fantasy sports leagues are unmistakable indicators that the sports and the entertainment industries are quickly becoming one and the same. This rapid convergence has been key to the sports business industry’s continued growth and financial success. Money Games not only analyzes how industry stakeholders have monetized this convergence, but also answers this core question: how can the sports business continue to profit from the blurring of sports and entertainment? Author David M. Carter considers a wide array of implications for television content, video gaming, athlete branding, the Internet, mobile technology, gambling, sports-anchored real estate development, venue technology, and corporate marketing—in short, those areas where business opportunities exist now that sports and entertainment have become one. “Fans, sports and media executives, and even investors will find that Carter’s examination . . . of the changing landscape of sports and entertainment helps them understand their own experiences.” —Stephen A. Greyser, Harvard Business School “An invaluable resource for stakeholders hoping to monetize sports as entertainment.” —Kenneth L. Shropshire, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and author of The Business of Sports Agents “The strategies and tactics that all the players will want—from the boardroom to the locker room—can be found in Money Games.” —John Nendick, Ernst & Young Global Media & Entertainment Industry Leader “Identifies the challenges facing the various sports leagues in delivering fans what they want.” —Allan H. (Bud) Selig, Baseball Commissioner
