GO LONG!(ISBN=)

　　In Go Long! Jerry Rice shares the inspirational lessons and
empowering practices that have helped him attain success, both on
the football field and off. Through the ups and downs of Rice’s
life and incomparable career, we discover how self-motivation,
determination, and humility are the keys to achievement and true
fulfillment.
　　It’s been a long journey for Jerry Rice, from his childhood as a
bricklayer’s son in Crawford, Mississippi, to a berth in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame. Along the way, Rice has been fueled by
tireless effort and a belief in a few simple principles, among them
that achievement is a voyage, not a destination; that modesty and
perseverance, not talent, are what determine how far you will go;
and that everyone should strive to be a role model. Rice even
demonstrates these rules in action, breaking down the greatest
games from his stellar career.
　　Go Long! is an inspiring book by a living sports legend. More
than that, however, it is the story of how Jerry Rice awakened the
champion within, illustrating how we, too, can unlock inner
greatness.
　　“Rice was nobody’s fool as a player. He kept his tongue in check
for most of his twenty-one-year career, understanding performance,
not oratory, was his occupation. Now retired, Rice has taken the
muzzle off [and] it is that persona which emerges from the
book.”
–Press Democrat (Santa Rosa, California)
