The IN Crowd

Author: Kahlil Carter

“ The IN Crowd ” is a powerful journey through the many socioeconomic pitfalls that athletes of color face as they navigate academics, athletics, faith, success, failure, and growth. The author, Coach Kahlil Carter, narrates this journey from an at-risk youth growing up in the perilous environment of the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., to surviving an era of crime and over-policing that dominated the 90’s and much of the South during a very tumultuous time in our great nation.

Whether you’re a high school athlete with dreams of playing sports, collegiately, a collegiate athlete aspiring to make the rigorous pursuit of playing professionally, a retiring professional athlete who struggles to find that next passion and purpose, or to the ever-evolving brotherhood and privilege of becoming a coach and mentor, you’ll find parallels throughout the book between success and failure and the growth it requires to find your place in a world of business, politics, and competition.

At the end of the book is a guide to plan, track, and define success for yourself and to set reasonable actionable items every day to achieve the results that you dream of. Enjoy the journey and never be afraid to be bold in your prayers and ask God to show you His plan for your life.
