“Team of Destiny” (2020)
Thurl Bailey knows what it takes to have a "Championship Mindset". With Thurl in the driver's seat, this book takes readers on a journey that started with a dreamer, Coach Jim Valvano. Jimmy V's ability to manifest his dream through a willing group of young players, culminated into winning the 1983 NCAA Championship against all odds. Sports Illustrated pinned the championship game as, "The greatest upset in sports in the 20th century." Thurl invites you to learn the secret of how you and your team can choose to have that championship mindset. Success does leave clues, and this book challenges you and the rest of today's dreamers to understand the importance of your own unique set of skills to help put you and your team in a position to win!
