As a basketball player George Selleck was selected as the California Interscholastic Federation Player of the Year, at Stanford he earned All-American honors and then went on to being elected to the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame and the Pac-12 Ring of Honor. As a coach he was selected TWICE by the Los Angeles Times as the High School Coach of the Year. But it is not these accomplishments that define George Selleck. Through Lead2Play, an organization he founded, and the numerous books he has written Dr. Selleck has made it his life’s work to empower youth and to make sports fun for those involved.
In his new book, Kian and Me: Gifts from a Grandson, which is out now at Amazon and other fine retailers, Dr. Selleck walks readers through what Kian, his toddler grandson, is teaching him as his grandfather. It is a book that we can’t recommend enough to our listeners and one containing endless lessons for adults as seen through the eyes of a toddler. Pick up a copy today.
