About the author Jay Bilas

                           As I wait for the Blood of Olympus to come out, I am going to try the book Toughness by ESPN analyst Jay Bilas.

                           Jay Bilas played College Basketball for Duke from 1982-1986. He graduated from Duke law school in 1992. But in 1995, he joined the ESPN Analyst and is now a game and studio analyst. He is a two time nominee for best studio analyst. In 2010 Sports Illustrated gave him the award of best game analyst of the year. He was the "Best Column of the Year" from US basketball writers.

                           On his website jaybilas.com he has categories about himself, his camps, media, and more. It also has a little about the book I will be reading. I would recommend you this book if you were a fan of basketball and sports like I am. It is a New York Times Best Seller. It also has been foreworded by Mike Krzyzewski. The current Duke coach and the coach of Jay Bilas when he went to Duke.
