Overview
A lifelong sportsman and business leader, Bob Rich shares a spirited, wisdom-filled journey through competition, adventure, and the art of finding the right angle in sports—and in life.
From the frozen ponds of Buffalo to the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, business leader and lifelong sportsman Bob Rich has spent his life chasing challenge, adventure, and meaning—always searching for the right angle.
In this warm, witty, and deeply reflective memoir, Rich—senior chairman of Rich Products Corporation and one of America’s most accomplished entrepreneurs—takes readers on a journey through a life defined by passion, competition, and curiosity. Whether he’s playing hockey in college, mastering polo and team handball, building three of the most successful minor league baseball teams in the country, or becoming one of the world’s most respected anglers, Rich finds joy in the pursuit itself.
More than a chronicle of games and goals, The Right Angle is about the art of living well—balancing ambition with gratitude, success with humility, and drive with perspective. Rich explores how the lessons of sport apply to business, leadership, and personal growth, illustrating how finding the “right angle” helps us navigate life’s challenges, create opportunities, and embrace adventure with courage and humor.
Along the way, readers meet a cast of memorable characters—from world-class athletes and fishing legends to U.S. presidents and friends—each revealing something about the human spirit and the rewards of persistence and play.
Told with insight and charm, The Right Angle captures the heart of a man who has lived fully and led fearlessly. For anyone who believes that success and joy aren’t mutually exclusive, this book is a reminder that life—like sport—is best lived when you find your perfect angle.
