内容简介:
“Lots of people have dreams, but C. Vivian Stringer is the
dream—a coalminer’s daughter who believed when her Poppa told her
there was no obstacle she could not surmount. And she lives that
dream, teaching others to rise up to meet challenges, turning
underdogs into champions again and again—on and off the court. This
is the quintessential American story, of a woman and of a family
pulling together against the odds. Standing Tall offers an
important message of hope to so many.”
—John Chaney, Hall of Fame college basketball coach
At a time when heroes are too rare, C. Vivian Stringer sets a
shining example. She has time and again shown character, fortitude,
and heart, both on and off the hardwood, and in the face of
unbearable loss. In Standing Tall, she shares her remarkable life
story, inspiring us to find this fortitude within ourselves.
“Work hard, and don’t look for excuses,” Stringer’s parents told
her, “and you can achieve anything.” But her faith and perseverance
would be tested many times. A gifted athlete, she had to fight for
a place on an all-white cheerleading squad in the sixties. In 1981,
just as her coaching career was taking off, her fourteen-month-old
daughter, Nina, was stricken with spinal meningitis. Nina would
never walk or talk again. Still grieving, Stringer brought a small,
poor, historically black college to the national championships—a
triumph hailed as “Hoosiers with an all-female cast.” In 1991, her
husband, Bill—her staunchest supporter, the father of her children,
and the love of her life—fell dead of a sudden heart attack, but
that same year, she led yet another young team to the Final Four.
Through these dark times and others—including her bout with cancer,
shared here for the first time—Stringer has carried her burdens
with grace. Given her history, it was no surprise that she led her
team to respond to Don Imus’s slurs with dignity and courage.
Standing Tall is a story of quiet strength in the face of
punishing odds. Above all, it is an extraordinary love story—love
for the game, for the players she has coached, for her close-knit
family, and for the husband she lost far too soon. It will resonate
long after the last page.
