Mike Babcock is the only hockey coach in the history of the game to lead teams to victory in the Stanley Cup, the World Championship, and the Olympic Games. Currently head coach for the Detroit Red Wings, he is arguably the best coach in the game today. In this book, against the dramatic backdrop of the Canadian men's gold medal victory in Vancouver, Babcock provides an inspiring roadmap for achieving goals and fulfilling dreams. This is not just a book about hockey but a book about life, rooted in Babcock's "Leave No Doubt" credo. Written by Babcock and his longtime friend Rick Larsen, the credo hung on Team Canada's dressing-room wall during their historic run to Olympic gold. It provides a compelling framework for excelling in life. Illuminated by revealing stories about overcoming doubt, "owning pressure," and making a difference, "Leave No Doubt" is based on a firm belief in everyday commitment and a step by step approach to being "better than good enough." The words originally written for Canada's Olympic gold medal hockey team - leave no doubt, every day counts, our determination will define us - inspire an approach to succeeding in life that is relevant to people of all interests and ambitions. Athlete or not, each of us will find valuable guidance in this succinct primer from one of the most respected leaders in sports.

Autobiography of early events filled with hazards and humor that brought the writer This Close to extinction as a teen: Exploding rocket engines, a power-ice-sled crash in a New England blizzard, an airboat sunk in Florida, a parachute problem, a bulldozer sunk in a swamp, a crashed and burned helicopter. He survived, became a mechanical engineer, logged fifty years of aerospace design from Apollo to the International Space Station, from medical implants to military aircraft. And started four successful businesses.

Extraterrestrial. The word dances in the unknown. We search planets in the "Goldilocks" zone: water. Not too hot; too cold. S.E.T.I. listens. But not to a cave in Tennessee.An earthquake. An open fault. Brothers Evantt and Roy Wainwright make the two-hundred-foot descent. Then do the natural thing for two PhDs: they study what they've found- a "spaceship" and its remains inside. The study attracts MIT researcher Savannah Susa, and she attracts Evantt. It's a solid team.The occupant recorded North America as he found it during The Late Pleistocene, the Younger Dryas. Nine thousand years before the pyramids. His writings, images- run astonishing parallels with their lives and their faith. What did he do? Where was he from? Why was he here and why still here? A lifetime of study. A tantalizing singularity in their backyard.But they opened the door. A silent call brings his descendants. Contact! They want him back.It won't go well.
