 Should Be Required Reading For EVERYONE April 17, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Having long been a fan of Pat Summitt & the Tennessee Lady Vols, I finally got around to reading this book and I must say it was a real eye-opener. You've seen pictures of Pat on tv & in the newspapers, usually in some player's face during a crucial moment of a game & you might think, "this woman is really tough on her players." Well, guess what? She IS tough, and many of the players that she's been toughest on went on to be championship players in the WNBA after getting their degrees at the University Of Tennessee. Other than building championship teams, Pat's main goal is seeing that her players get their education & graduate. Everyone on the team must sit in the 1st 3 rows in their classes and pay attention. After reading this book, I came away with the realization that she really does care about these young women and always made it a point to assure them of this. At times when she knew she'd really have to lean on a player, Pat would contact their parents to give them a heads up so that there would be no misunderstanding. Pat Summitt grew up tough but fair, not afraid of hard work and expecting alot from others. Her Definite Dozen System is easy to apply in any job, in all walks of life. You just have to be determined to overcome adversity and to face every challenge that comes your way. Highly recommended reading for everyone, not just fans of women's basketball.
A valuable read for anyone in pursuit of excellence! April 8, 2000

You don't have to be a basketball fan or embrace Pat Summitt's aggressive personal coaching style to benefit from this thought provoking book. If you've been put off by Pat's "mean" image in the past (as I had been), check out this book and get to know her better. She shares her successes and failures with refreshing honesty and delightful, often humorous anecdotes. She's the first one to admit that her in-your-face style isn't for everyone, but her genuine love of her student athletes is reflected here. Read about Pat's philosophy of winning with an open mind, and you will find yourself equipped with some practical wisdom on how to rise to the challenges of life.

For the first time I have read a motivational book that breaks ideas down into easy digestable pieces. As a college coach I am impressed with Coach Summitt's philosophy and execution. I share her ideals and focus. My 10 year old daughter's comment was, "Gee, Dad there are other coachs like you!" If she ever decides to play basketball I hope Pat is around to coach her. This has become required reading of my players at Claremont McKenna. Success is easy, you just have to work for it.

This book reinforced for me the basic fundamentals of success. Working for a highly successful hotel, which has garnered many awards and achievments, I found the same basic philosphies which we practice in this book. It is great reading for those who are looking for success in any and all that they do, and for those who have found success and wish to continue along the path!
