6/23/2010
"How Athletes Roll" is truly a first-of-its-kind read and goes in-depth with 40 Celebrity Pro Athletes that we all know and love. Athletes that are both active and retired come together within these pages to discuss their passion for cars, cars they currently own, have owned and more.
How Athletes Roll, the latest book from auto expert and off-road racer Barbara Terry, (www.barbaraterry.com) goes in-depth with 40 celebrity pro athletes to discuss their passion for cars, cars they currently own, have owned and more.
These 40 athletes featured in the book range from various sports backgrounds such as football, hockey, golf, basketball, NASCAR driving to Olympic running and ice skating, to UFC fighting, baseball and more.
How Athletes Roll has more than 240 pages of exciting commentary on the motoring lifestyles of these celebrity athletes, with six pages dedicated to each of the 40 pros interviewed.
The book contains exclusive, full-color, rich photographs of the athletes and unique captures of the cars they own and love, in addition to telling their unique car stories and responses to interview questions.
Just a few of the 40 gracing the book include: Michael Strahan, Arnold Palmer, Chad Knaus, Rusty Wallace, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Mike Piazza and Bobby Allison.
“The passion that the athletes have for their cars and the in-depth questions that they were willing to answer not only surprised me, but will be like automotive candy for the readers — both men and women alike," said Terry.
Terry dedicated "How Athletes Roll" to Jay Novacek, who inspired her to write her book after an opportunity to interview the Cowboy's tight-end receiver a few years back. This is where many of Jay's entertaining stories sparked her vision.
"This was an amazingly fun book for me to work on and it truly comes across within the pages," Terry said.
