Riassunto

“Joan and Pat Summitt were what I call 'glass cutters' in building the Tennessee women’s athletics program. They did not break the glass ceiling; they carefully carved their way through.” —Sally Jenkins, Washington Post

 “Joan has the ability to bring out the best in people and provide them with the skills to be the best that they can be. It’s refreshing that despite all her vast accomplishments Joan remains humble and sincere.”  —Robin Roberts, co-anchor, Good Morning America

“Whether you’re in the board room or the the locker room, there is nothing more important than teamwork.  Joan Cronan is a gifted leader of teams, whose passion and devotion has led generations of athletes to be the very best that they can be.  Her learning and experience can be a hugely valuable lesson to us all.” —Kenneth W. Lowe, Chairman, President, and CEO, Scripps Networks Interactive

In Sport Is Life with the Volume Turned Up, Joan Cronan offers a refreshing and innovative perspective on strengthening performance and achieving success in both the business world and everyday life.

Cronan’s busi­ness acumen and passionate approach to positive change will arm you with the outlook and the tools you need to revolutionize the professional and personal spheres in your life.
