When Pat Croce choreographed the purchase of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996, he proved that dreams really do come true. And two months later, when he excitedly high-fived stunned NBA team owners after winning the nationally televised NBA draft lottery, he infused a passion into team ownership that is as entertaining and original as it is unstoppable. But that s what Pat Croce is all about energy, passion, laughter, and dreams. A little bit of Yin, and a whole lot of Yang. A pioneer in the sports physical therapy industry, Croce went from the training room to the boardroom in one of the most unlikely stories in sports history-a classic rags to riches tale that was made possible by his rock solid upbringing and his indestructible positive attitude. I Feet Great and You Will Too! is more than just the story of one man s remarkable journey. At times moving, often hilarious, and always brutally honest, this book offers a lifetime of inspiring lessons. With the same high-energy style that has made him a favourite motivational speaker of Fortune 500 executives, Croce recounts the moments that taught him to strive for and achieve greatness. But greatness does not come without obstacles. Croce suffered a tragic motorcycle accident in the summer of 1999 that almost cost him his leg, but which also gave him the biggest challenge of his life a harrowing recovery marked by a barely avoided amputation, a challenge to his core beliefs, and ultimately, triumph. Featured throughout I Feel Great and You Will Too! are "Pat Croce Pointers," which emphasize valuable lessons on goal-setting, sales and marketing, communication, creative thinking, desire, dedication, and much more. Croce also includes his "Ten Commandments of Customer Service," the same guidelines he s used to become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the sports industry. With wisdom, insight, and humour on every page, I Feel Great and You will Too! is an invaluable blueprint for business and for life.
