Author Robert E. Pritchett Sr.'s New Book 'Mandingo' is the Evaluation of Athletic Scholarships for Black Athletes and How Students Can Benefit From These Opportunities
Recent release 'Mandingo' from Newman Springs Publishing author Robert E. Pritchett Sr. is an enlightening guide to the athletic scholarship structure and how black students have in some cases, unfortunately, found themselves relying solely on their athleticism for success.
DECATUR, Ga., August 9, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Robert E. Pritchett Sr. is a professor of exercise science and sports studies at Atlanta Metropolitan College, Atlanta, Georgia. He is an internationally known basketball coach, having directed basketball clinics in Europe, Africa, and the West Indies and has been named coach of the year 23 times. He has completed his new book “Mandingo”: a vital guide for black athletes to achieve true success through their talent and hard work to an invaluable education.
“To understand that black athletes can no longer be athlete-students. That the only way to survive meant one must be a student-athlete. The black athlete has to learn that after once being bubbled in showers of cheers and adulation because of his athletic success, beyond the athletic horizon sets a cold reality, a reality that burns the naked body when you are undressed by not having an education,” said Pritchett Sr.
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Robert E. Pritchett Sr.’s supportive tale urges budding student athletes to focus on what can carry them beyond playing the sport they love into an adult life of success and happiness, a full and well-rounded education.
Beginning with the history of athletics in the sphere of African Americans, this guide brings the vision of success full-circle by encouraging students to follow their athletic passions, but to keep their eyes on the prize that an education can and will be to that athlete in the long haul.
Readers who wish to experience this powerful work can purchase “Mandingo” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
