First Brother-in-Law Craig Robinson knew from the second he stepped on the court with President Barack Obama, he was something special. Now Robinson, a college basketball coach, plans to share his tips for success and his experiences with sister, Mrs. Michelle Obama, and Mr. Obama in a book titled, “A Game of Character,” according to the Associated Press.

“I’ve watched as my sister Michelle, a rock of a mother, became a leader in her own right,” he said in a statement. “My brother-in law, President Barack Obama, who I knew from the first time I met him had something special, continues to inspire all of us.”
