These are just some of the many accomplishments, all which can be read about in How to Build a Sport or Life Dynasty.

"In this his fourth sports themed book Norbert Baschnagel tells the story of how he took a struggling, non-winning women's tennis program at Clarion University of Pennsylvania and turned it into the conference leader with an astounding string of wins during his stint as head coach. The achievement led to many honors including his being named the conference's "Coach of the Year" and being inducted into the Clarion University Sports Hall of Fame." Baschnagel then provides a detailed blueprint of how he achieved his success and how others can achieve similar results. Baschnagel eventually left coaching to become a member of the Clarion University faculty, teaching in the university's Department of Health and Physical Education for many years before retiring recently. A few years before his retirement Professor Baschnagel received one of academia's highest honors when he was named a full professor. Though Coach/Professor Baschnagel is now retired he is not resting on his laurels as he remains active in the community and the sports world. And as this book ably demonstrates while he may be retired he is still very much in the game." - Dr. William Buchanan, Professor Emeritus, Department of Information and Library Science, Clarion University of Pennsylvania
