Samenvatting
Reggie Love is a unique witness to history, whose introduction to Washington was working in Junior Senator Barack Obamas mailroom. As body man to Obama during his first presidential campaign, Loves job was to stay one step behind the candidate, but think and act three steps ahead during a typical eighteen-hour workday. As President Obamas personal aide during that momentous first term, Love sat yards from the Oval Office and often spent more time with the President than anyone else. While his experiences were unique, the lessons he learned during his tenure with the President are universal. Persistence. Responsibility. Passion for a cause greater than yourself. In short, maturity.
Love has been singularly lucky in his mentors. At Duke University, where he was a walk-on and a captain of its fabled basketball team, Love learned from Coach Krzyzewski that sports builds characterfrom President Obama, Love learned that how you conduct your life defines your character.
Accountability and serving with honor were learned during unsought moments: co-coaching with Malia Obamas and Sasha Obamas basketball team with the President; lending Obama his tie ahead of a presidential debate; managing a personal life when no hour is truly your own. From his first interview with Senator Obama, to his near-decision not to follow the President-elect to the White House, Love drew on Coach Ks teachings as he learned to navigate Washington. But it was while owning up to (temporarily) losing the Presidents briefcase, playing pick-up games in New Hampshire to secure votes, babysitting the children of visiting heads of state, and keeping the President company at every major turning point of his historic first campaign and administration, that Love learned how persistence and passion can lead not only to success, but to a broader concept of adulthood.
Power Foward is a professional coming of age story like no other.
