"What's it like to lose when everybody's watching?"

Author Tom Oberdorfer asks that question of some of the biggest names in sport in his collection of interviews and essays, Winners Lose, Too.

With both an affinity for the games and empathy for the athletes, Oberdorfer explores the short straw of competition and achievement - losing - as he talks to Olympians, NASCAR and NCAA champions, and professional league standouts about their disappointments, setbacks, and failures. He uncovers lessons from losing at the highest levels and shares those insights in ways that allow readers to see themselves in the struggles of others.

Winners Lose, Too contains 22 stories of high-profile athletes and one premier cellist. Between chapters, quotes from noteworthy and historic figures, writers, and sportsmen and women tackle the subjects of loss and failure. Amid the inspiration, role models emerge, making Winners Lose, Too a valuable asset for readers of all ages.
