—Bill Cole Testimonial on back cover of Clubbing: Athlete Career Killer

Stop a potential disaster in a sports career before it even gets underway. Make sure that character rules the day in any young athlete's life, so they themselves don't become a character. Know how to navigate the treacherous ways of a sports career, at all levels, from all fronts. Clubbing: Athlete Career Killer: 175 Must-know Tips for Athletes to Avoid Violence gives readers all of this and more. In 173 jam-packed pages of smart strategies, Clubbing lays out a step-by-step approach to handling the inevitable pitfalls that can be thrown in the path of even the most diligent and thoughtful student-athlete.

Author David L. Brown writes from a place of wisdom. He himself was a multi-sport athlete, at a high level. He was a blue-chip prospect in football, recruited by such perennial college powerhouses as Ohio State, Wisconsin and Virginia Tech, among others. David has lived and seen the life paths of athletes up close and personal, and writes from the inside out to help protect the career paths of aspiring athletes.

Clubbing is street smart and athlete-friendly. Athletes and coaches of all levels, in all sports, should own this book and refer to it often. It offers practical, honest and character-driven ways to stay safe, respect others and make sport a better place. The International Mental Game Coaching Association endorses Clubbing as a vital resource for anyone in sports. Sports agents should be particularly interested in this book for their clients, and this should be mandatory reading for every college freshman athlete.

Athlete Career Killer is the first and only twelve-part book series dedicated to providing step-by-step solutions for improving player personal conduct in sports. Clubbing is hard-hitting. With chapters like Clubbing Can Kill, Headline Athletes Don't Want, and Ugly Headline, this book tells it like it is to young athletes. David L. Brown speaks their language.

The book closes with an important chapter – If Clubbing You Must – Club Responsibly™. It is a done deal that many, if not most young athletes will go clubbing, or at least be out in the public eye at some point. Clubbing implores these young athletes to think in advance, set intelligent strategies, have contingency plans and know what to say and do when trouble shows up.

Clubbing is a character-driven book. Sport needs more character. This book shows us how that can be achieved. The International Mental Game Coaching Association applauds David L. Brown for this book, and for the vision he has shown for writing this superb series of twelve books.
