Book Description
Athletes all over the world struggle to cope with life after competitive sport. But competitive sport does not end when the clock hits zero. In fact, the game of life is just beginning, and the world is depending on you to bring your unique skillset to the table. After the Buzzer is a powerful memoir that tracks Andrew's journey with basketball far beyond the game. Andrew shares unforgettable lessons and memories not just through the metaphoric value of the game of basketball, but also from the fundamental teachings he learned from coaches, teammates, and mentors that athletes of any age can relate to. Andrew's dream was to play collegiate basketball and one day hear his name over the loudspeaker during March Madness. Though he spent hours in the gym preparing, he fell short of his initial goal. It took years for him to realize that he had actually prepared for something much bigger. For Andrew, playing basketball was temporary, but the lessons learned on the journey would guide him forever. As he transitioned into life after competitive sport, he realized the game of life was very similar to the game of basketball. And now he is sharing his journey with you so you can translate your sports skills from the court to play full out as you reach for your goals.
