Gary Williams

WINNING is an autobiography that reveals a unique ability, right from childhood, to visualise, achieve and succeed. Through Gary Williams' life story, despite his larrikin-style and mistakes made along the way, you will learn what it takes to achieve wealth and ultimate success in anything you choose to do and without qualifications or formal training. You can succeed on your own terms and under your own steam. In 'Winning', this is reflected in so many areas of Gary's life, including music, business, publishing, pilot training, gyro and helicopter flight, financial freedom, financial management and more. By reading this book, you will learn the secrets and tips to follow to achieve your goals in any area, whether that be business, wealth building or honing your skills in a creative pursuit, to the highest level-or all of the above, as Gary has done. His book will show you that anyone can achieve through adopting the same philosophies and the same level of passion, focus and commitment to a goal or set of goals. Don't let anyone get in the way and don't let anyone tell you 'you can't'. Believe in yourself and your ability; know that you are capable and do not waver from that belief; be focussed and determined; set your goal and do it. The more passion you release to achieve, the more success you will experience. Finally, you need to know that God wants you just as you are, not with you trying to be good just to please him because, if you are likeGary (at times), you suck at trying to be good

Derek Owens joined the Marine Corps to make a difference in the world. After being seriously wounded in battle, he was given convalescent leave. While on leave, he visited the families of Marines who served with him and were killed in action. While trying to meet the family of a Marine in a small town in North Carolina, he met and fell in love with a woman who happened to be in love with someone else. Saddened, he returned to the Marines to finish out his obligation. Upon his discharge, he joined a police department in Florida in hopes of making a difference in people's lives. While he did make a difference in some lives, he found himself wrestling alligators, getting into high-speed wild car chases, and surviving a shoot-out with a serial killer. After five years of police work, he felt God calling him to do something else, so he resigned from the police department. As he sought God's will in his life, he frequently prayed and finally discovered his true calling. And at the end of his journey, he found true faith and love.

The celebration of Washington D. C. basketball is long overdue. The D. C. metro area stands second to none in its contributions to the game. Countless figures who have had a significant impact on the sport over the years have roots in the region, including E. B. Henderson, the first African-American certified to teach public school physical education, and Earl Lloyd, the first African-American to take the court in an actual NBA game. The city's Spingarn High School produced two players – Elgin Baylor and Dave Bing – recognized among the NBA’s 50 greatest at the League’s 50th anniversary celebration. No other high school in the country can make that claim. These figures and many others are chronicled in this book, the first-ever comprehensive look at the great high school players, teams and coaches in the D. C. metropolitan area. Based on more than 150 interviews, The Capital of Basketball is first and foremost a book about basketball. But in discussing the trends and evolution of the game, McNamara also uncovers the turmoil in the lives of the players and area residents as they dealt with prejudice, educational inequities, politics, and the ways the area has changed through the years.
