O knihe

Kenneth "Tug" Wilson's life story reveals a humble soul from Illinois farm country whose love of competitive sports leads him to become an Olympic contender in 1920 and into an impressive administration career lasting more than four decades. From athletic director at Drake University and then Northwestern University to Big Ten Commissioner and president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Wilson left his mark during the formidable years of amateur sports. His connections with legendary coaches, players, and directors, as well as significant events and developments in sports history, enrich the story of a man who never missed an opportunity to tell a good story. Wilson never forgot his roots, but his historic contributions were nearly lost. Honoring his achievements through this biography ensures his legacy lives on for generations to come.
