Praise for The Bounce
|
"A fantastic book. I couldn't put it down." — Alex Kennedy, Basketballnews.com
"A loving, soulful meditation on growing up as a star athlete, interwoven with memoir and fascinating hoops history." -- John W. Miller, America Magazine/Author of The Last Manager "A great read. You will be shocked at how much you didn't know about yourself. [It] will enlighten you." — RZA Sports "A guidebook for athletes trying to find themselves. ...[I]nnovative and unorthodox.... A game-changer for sports memoirs." — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "The focus will be on basketball, but [Ian] deserves literary acknowledgement, as well. Don't mistake this for some ghost-written memoir. You can tell he put in the work and the writing itself needs to be recognized." — Jeffrey Schneekloth, Author of Lefty "Ian Johnson beautifully and brutally uses his own story to expose some very real truths about the state of athletics in today's culture. A must-read for any athlete who dreams of 'making it.'" — Becky Bonner, Orlando Magic "I admire [Ian's] courage and applaud him for taking off the mask and being vulnerable by telling his story. Readers that share his challenge will surely benefit from this book." — Steve Smith, Oak Hill Academy "Excellent. A raw, revealing look at basketball and life beyond a game." — Craig Meyer, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |
