First Time Author’s Book Tops Amazon’s Hot New Releases List

SEATTLE - March 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Within 36 hours of being published, Triumph! An Athlete’s Guide to Winning On and Off the Field (Booktrope Editions, March 5, 2015) by Matt Kunz topped the Amazon Hot New Releases list in Sports Psychology. First time author, Matt Kunz, understands what it takes to win on and off the field. He was a letter winner as a walk-on football player and played linebacker and special teams for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Through sports, Matt, the son of former Atlanta Falcon and Baltimore Colt George Kunz and Mary Sue, learned valuable lessons about leadership, politics, and coaching.

Written for the athlete at any level, Triumph! An Athlete’s Guide to Winning On and Off the Field is a guide that helps you understand how to approach your sport philosophically and practically. Kunz explains how to focus your energy and play with confidence through ART (Alignment, Rules, and Technique), understand the politics of sports, and manage relationships that surround you as an athlete.

The book has forewords from legendary National Championship Football Coaches Lou Holtz and Ara Parseghian, and endorsements from Coach Ted Marchibroda, Renaldo Wynn, Mike McCoy, Ron Wallace, and Tom Annexstad to name a few.

“The lessons in this book are relevant to life, whether you’re an athlete or not,” says Matt Kunz. He continues, "The idea is to remind people that being an athlete is just one part of being human, but being human is every part of being an athlete."

The book is available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online retailers.
