With simple but delightful storytelling, Carroll channels his childhood passion for sport and play into a universally appealing blueprint for life. Drawing wisdom from the Philadelphia ballfields of his youth, where he spent hour upon hour sharpening his body and his mind, Carroll teaches readers how to achieve maximum human potential through the power of play and creativity.
Finding your own "red rubber ball" and chasing it to your heart's content, he argues, is the surest route to peace, prosperity and happiness. Over the years as an athletic trainer and public speaker, Carroll has transformed his philosophy into seven simple rules that any successful leader will endorse:
1) Commit to it
2) Seek out encouragers
3) Work out your creative muscle
4) Prepare to shine
5) Speak up
6) Expect the unexpected
7) Maximize the day
