Tripp Bowden | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

In Castoffs to Champions, coach Josh Gregory (with the help of writer Tripp Bowden) tells the improbable, inspiring story of how he led the golf team at tiny commuter college Augusta State University - a team with virtually no budget, comprised mostly of players who weren't even recruited in their own home state or country - to upset victories over college golf's most powerful and prestigious schools en route to consecutive Division I National Championships (2010 and 2011), becoming the first team to repeat as champions since 1984-85. Castoffs to Champions is a story of a team forged as a sort of brotherhood and of the power of collective belief. And it's also about Coach Gregory's unorthodox but highly effective coaching methods, which empower young men to achieve beyond their abilities and, most important, to believe that the impossible can and does happen.
