Books with author Randall

Author Jim Rohn once said, “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”This book is for 17-23 year olds who want to make the most of their life starting now. It contains nine lessons to help young people navigate life, relationships, their career, and faith.This is a book that addresses many questions 17-23-year-olds face, such as, “What should I do with my life?” and “How do I know I’ve meet ‘the one’ I should marry?” Essentially, it is 26-year-old Roman speaking to 17-year-old Roman, sharing stories, lessons learned, and advice for the journey of life. Often, it can be more beneficial to learn from someone who is a few steps in front of you, rather than someone who is miles ahead of you, because the person who is a few steps in front of you has just come out of the stage of life you are currently in; they have a fresh, concrete understanding of what it is like to be where you are. They know the things you need to know during this phase of life and how to make the most of the season of life you’re currently in so that the future seasons of life are a success as well. The person a few miles ahead of you, on the other hand, may suffer from the “curse of knowledge” and not remember what it was like to be where you currently are. I believe the period of a person's life when they are 17-23 can be some of the most exhilarating, transformative, and defining years of a person's life. Although lots of people waste their time on video games, TV, beer pong, and getting into trouble, this time can also be the beginning of a grand adventure: knowing the God of the universe, understanding who He created you to be, making the most of your life, and living with no regrets. There's a lot of stuff I learned during these years that I wish I knew when I was 17-23 years old. There's a lot of things I did well during those years of my life, but there are also of a lot of new ideas I realized on “the other side,” when I was 24 and 25 years old. Some of this stuff I wish I knew before I turned 17, but I can’t go back and make changes.But I can pass it on to you. I have worked with teenagers and young adults since I was 16, in my church, youth group, and high school. The questions and topics addressed in this book are questions I’ve had myself, and they are questions that many teenagers and young adults I’ve mentored and talked to have asked me.

Basketball is a simple game. There are two teams and one ball. The basketball goes in the basket to score points! Right! The team with the most points wins the game. What's hard about that? Many players, fans and parents believe the only thing important in a basketball game is shooting the ball and scoring points. This book is designed for high school varsity basketball coaches of both genders. The situation every varsity basketball coach faces every school year is comparable to that of the professional gambler. The gambler has to play the cards he/she is dealt. The varsity basketball coach is blessed or cursed with the athletic quality, mental and physical preparedness of his/her high school students. If a coach inherits good, fundamentally well-prepared athletes, the coach may enjoy two or three winning seasons. A varsity coach faced with a majority of players with bad habits and bad attitudes will have to suffer through an unpleasant season. This book is written for the purpose of reminding all high school varsity basketball coaches that a coach is first and foremost a teacher. The Coach has to teach the game of basketball during practice. The Coach has to coach strategy during a basketball game.Sometimes a radio or television announcer will praise a player in a basketball game as a "coach on the floor." Every player should be a "coach on the floor." Every player should understand the beautiful complexity that occurs with every possession in a game. A varsity coach must teach his/her players that knowledge of the game of basketball requires much much more than shooting the ball at the basket.The fundamental problem every coach encounters in teaching the game of basketball to his/her players is time. A practice session has a limited amount of time and there is always so much that needs to be done to prepare for the next game. This book proposes the varsity basketball coaches of both gender teams create a program to address the problem of coaching upper class students ill-prepared for the game of basketball. A basketball season is but one school year; a basketball program is forever.The details of a program are spelled out step by step in this book. There are two primary aspect to this program. The first is the varsity basketball coach must teach the game of basketball to the players outside of and beyond the limited practice time. The second aspect involves teaching the game of basketball in the lower grades where bad habits begin on the playgrounds, pee-wee games, elementary and middle school games.It's much easier to teach the correct fundamentals and knowledge to young kids than it is to change the bad habits of high school teenagers.
