About the Book

Grateful & Greedy: Challenging and Redefining What it Means to Win in Life

Shattering glass ceilings, setting new standards, standing in leadership, and simply, WINNING, by any means best captures the spirit of Tamika R. Newman. Her debut memoir and self-help book, Grateful & Greedy : Challenging and Redefining What It Means To Win In Life, will take you on a journey of a devoted overachiever, athlete, mother and coach. 

Tamika has always set her sights high. 

After years as an athlete and eventually a coach, Tamika knows inside and out what it takes to WIN. 

That commitment to excellence has served her well through life’s ups and downs. 

Her success is a testament to what sweat equity, integrity, and true grit will get you when you push hard enough. 

However, even winning can take its toll on you when you're aiming to win just to meet society’s expectations of you. 

In Grateful & Greedy, Tamika shares how the pivotal experiences in her life have helped her redefine what winning is really all about. 

It’s a tale of deep reflection and intimate storytelling of loss and triumph. 

It aims to grant readers the chance to see a woman go from a precocious daughter to student athlete to motherhood to celebrated athletic coach, and the bravery it took to carve out her own path and definition of being Grateful & Greedy.
