A Coach's Journey: From a Sandlot to the Olympic Stadium is a tale of achievers and underachievers, of impediments and victories. It is a story of the liberating power of risking, expecting, and believing. It is a story to inspire all who strive to be the best that they can be, as seen through the eyes of man who, as a twelve-year-old boy, 'heard them cheering' in the Olympic Stadium, caught a dream, and worked his way to the pinnacle of the athletic world, Coach Ken Foreman is as good as it gets among storytellers. Yes, this is a book for all who are seeking excellence. I am pleased beyond words that others now have the opportunity to share in the wisdom of one who has led by amazing example of what is written in these pages. —Doris Brown Heritage, Former head coach of cross-country and track and field at Seattle Pacific University; world record holder; US Olympic Teams 1968, 1972

For readers who have a dream, want a dream, or have lost a dream, this trailblazing self-management tool masterfully weaves technology, real-life stories, self-reflection, and solid principles in order to steer dreaming into doing. The book is interactive and innovative, including exercises at the end of each chapter, extensive resources to help the dreams continue, and QR codes for readers to scan to view additional video segments. Based on a spoken message series called Imagine, which was addressed to the congregation at the Cathedral of Faith in San Jose, California, Pastor Ken Foreman realized the hunger people have to discover God’s dream for their own lives and to live them out; this book is the roadmap to accomplishing that goal. Inspiring others to dream big with unimaginable results—in their personal lives, professional lives, and in their communities—the book takes readers on a journey as individualized as themselves with beautifully pragmatic instruction, acknowledging the many obstacles and pitfalls that may impede one's vision. Once readers understand that pitfalls are part of the journey, and not just a hindrance, the dream continues.

Believing in one's possibilities is the first step toward the freedom to be! Based on the premise that almost everyone has been engineered for success but not everyone is a success story, I explore things (impedimenta) that tend to trip us up. I then write about achievers—individuals who I have worked with and known—who always do the hard job first and who universally have a burn to succeed. There are principles at loose here that will guide us through the roadblocks and lead to our becoming all we were created to be!
