PRAISE FOR Choice Not Chance "Choice Not Chance is an incredible exploration into the life of a loving mother and phenomenal coach whose leadership for women's basketball has truly been indispensable. She has time and again represented the highest ideals of sport and is a role model not only for her daughter, Maddie, but all daughters across our nation." —U.S. Senator OLYMPIA J. SNOWE (Maine) "Coach P. has taken her formula for winning on the court and has implemented her successful plan for winning into daily life. She shares her sacrifices on her journey to becoming a Coach and experiences as a dedicated mother and wife. A revealing story of Coach P.'s focus and commitment to success on and off the court." —JOE CIAMPI, Women's Basketball Head Coach (19792004), Auburn University; Women's Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee (2005) "Coach P. has written a must-read book for leaders of all types—including everyday leaders. She persuasively demonstrates that choice is a verb and not just a noun, that one's destiny is achieved by conscious decision making and forward movement. Even in her moments of personal vulnerability, she braids together strong threads of story, lessons, and advice. For all of us who sometimes need both inspiration and a push—as she does on the basketball court—Joanne P. McCallie delivers in this book." —JENNIFER GRANHOLM, two-term Governor of the State of Michigan "Joanne P. McCallie is inordinately bright and an exceptional leader both on and off the court. To be sure, her enthusiasm and passion for the game of women's basketball, and Duke University in general, is exceedingly contagious. That passion comes through clearly in the pages of Choice Not Chance." —KEVIN M. WHITE, Duke University Vice President and Director of Athletics
