 A Great Book Indeed May 1, 2002
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First of all, I need to say that I am very biased towards Coach K. I am 18 and ever since I can remember I have been a huge fan. I picked up the book because of his name but I came away with a lot more than I had hoped for. Through his stories and the way he carries himself, I have a better understanding of the life I am about to enter. I was most impressed by the part about Jimmy V., the story of him made me realize just how great of a guy Coach K is and what it takes to be great like him.
Great Book For Coaches, Fans, and Leaders April 17, 2002
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
In this book, Coach K does an excellent job of explaining his leadership techniques and how they have led to his unrivaled success with the Duke University men's basketball progream. While Duke fans will appreciate the examples more than non-fans, anyone who takes a leadership role in their life, or wants to, can benefit from reading this book. I would especially recommend it for aspiring coaches - from little league to the pros.The layout of the book adds to its effectiveness. Sections of the book are labeled much like a basketball season...with the preseason, season, postseason, and all year. When he puts his leadership tactics in this layout, it helps everyone whose role as a leader changes focus throughout the year.

I find it rather amusing how coaches think that just because they can coach a game, automatically it makes them experts on how businesses are run. Leadership is not generic, it is situational. Leadership is not about a person, it is an activity.
This book was given to me as a gift. I liked the basketball anecdotes, being a fan, but as far as advising me on how to be a leader, it's drivel. This is right up there with Rick Pitino, John Calipari, and every other college coach whose ego is out of control.
