The Games Do Count: America's Best and Brightest on the Power of Sports
This compelling collection by Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade reveals how sports shaped the lives of America's most influential leaders. Through 70+ personal stories, discover how figures like Henry Kissinger, Jack Welch, Condoleezza Rice, and Jon Bon Jovi credit athletic competition for teaching them the fundamental lessons that propelled them to the top of their fields.
Drawing from years of interviews with celebrities, politicians, and business executives, Kilmeade uncovers a universal truth: nearly every successful person has a transformative sports story. These firsthand accounts demonstrate how competition, teamwork, individual achievement, and even failure on the field translate directly to success in boardrooms, political offices, and creative industries.
The book captures authentic voices from the men and women themselves, along with insights from those closest to them. Each vignette offers practical wisdom on leadership, perseverance, and character development that readers can apply to their own lives. From camaraderie built in locker rooms to lessons learned from coaches, these stories illustrate how sports enriches lives beyond the scoreboard.
This paperback edition presents an accessible format for readers interested in biography, motivational content, and the intersection of athletics with professional achievement. Kilmeade's twenty years of sports reporting experience brings credibility and depth to each profile, making complex leadership principles relatable through the universal language of sports.
What do Henry Kissinger, Jack Welch, Condoleezza Rice, and Jon Bon Jovi have in common? They have all reached the top of their respective professions, and they all credit sports for teaching them the lessons that were fundamental to their success. In his years spent interviewing and profiling celebrities, politicians, and top businesspeople, popular sportscaster and Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade has discovered that nearly everyone shares a love of sports and has a story about how a game, a coach, or a single moment of competition changed his or her life.
These vignettes have entertained, surprised, and inspired readers nationwide with their insight into America's most respected and well-known personalities. Kilmeade presents more than seventy stories straight from the men and women themselves and those who were closest to them. From competition to camaraderie, individual achievement to teamwork, failure to success, the world of sports encompasses it all and enriches our lives. The Games Do Count reveals this simple and compelling truth: America's best and brightest haven't just worked hard -- they've played hard -- and the results have been staggering.
Cohost of cable television's number one morning show, Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade has reported on or provided live coverage of every major American sport over the last twenty years. He lives in Massapequa, New York, where he still coaches soccer.
