BEYOND BASKETBALL Coach K’s Keywords for Success

By one of the best college coaches of all time, these lessons are valuable additions to Coach K’s other teachings on basketball and life. He’s so wise and articulate in these matters that few listeners will pay much attention to his speaking style, which tends to be flat, whether he’s reading or speaking extemporaneously. The essays are organized around 40 words or phrases such as commitment, dependability, selflessness, and trust. Though they may sound like overused principles, in Coach K’s hands they take on a vibrancy and credibility that is seldom matched in other audios on success. With priceless examples from the worlds of college and professional sports, this is an essential lesson for anyone who influences young people.
