Premier athletes offer guidance on how to achieve personal success

“Circle of Success” by Bill Leach and Ted Newland presents lessons drawn from lives immersed in championship-level athletics

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – “Circle of Success” (ISBN 1439274053), an inspirational guide by Bill Leach and Ted Newland, a former Olympian and the winningest coach in the history of NCAA water polo, seeks to apply insight gained from the authors’ careers in competitive sports to help readers set goals to achieve a successful life and personal fulfillment.

Newland and Leach have known each other for more than fifty years, developing from a coach-athlete relationship to one of friendship and mutual respect as each has built a career out of superior athletic performance. Now these men provide 37 short vignettes from their own lives, boiling down the essential elements of their success and offering them for application to any roadblock to success. Weaving personal narrative with unique insight, the book is intended to help not only young athletes but also adults seeking to achieve greater success in their business or personal lives.

“As I got older, I came to realize that many of the experiences I had in various sports are universal and offer powerful lessons about dealing with success and failure,” says Leach. “What I’ve learned can be applied to everyday life, at work, or in relationships.”

The book contains stories that are touching, humorous and sometimes humbling as readers experience the authors’ frustrations and setbacks as well as their victories.

About the Authors
Bill Leach grew up in Southern California, a Mecca for water polo, swimming, kayaking and the triathlon. He was named All-American in water polo and swimming and played on the U.S. national water polo team. Leach also kayaked in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and was ranked as a top 10 triathlete during the 1980s, going on to compete in more than 300 triathlons. He now coordinates races in California.

Ted Newland was a premier water polo coach, holding the record for the most NCAA water polo victories. He and Leach have known each other for more than fifty years, Newland having coached Leach in water polo in high school, college and on the U.S. national team. Newland also helped found the water polo program at Corona del Mar High School, one of the premier High School water polo programs in the United States and served as an assistant coach there.

Welcome to the famous Rocky Point Triathlon hosted in beautiful Puerto Peñasco, Mexico at the Las Palomas Resort and Spa! The Rocky Point Triathlon has been awarded the Best Triathlon Party in the World by Triathlon Magazine and for good reason! The host resort, Las Palomas, is an incredible venue for your triathlon vacation.

Nestled along the incredible Sea of Cortez, the triathlon has an ocean swim along the shore line (great for beginners), a mostly closed bike course (also great for beginners!) and a beautiful run through the private Las Palomas Golf Course. Best of all, you finish on the beach right in front of the resort! This is the perfect laid back triathlon for beginners and veteran multi-sport athletes. There is a distance for everyone in your party - Olympic (1000 meter swim, 26 mile bike, 6.2 mile run), Sprint (500 meter swim, 9.4 mile bike, 3.1 mile run), or the 10k and 5k run!

All participants get a finisher medal, t-shirt, free beer, and Mexican food.

Participants, family, and friends enjoy an after-race pool party with 4 hours of live music!

Don't miss this incredible triathlon vacation; stay a bit longer to visit our amazing town of Puerto Peñasco. It is just a 225 mile drive from downtown Scottsdale or Tucson, and 300 miles from San Diego.
