Beyond Basketball: Coach K's Keywords for Success

2006Mike Krzyzewski

4.9/5

I thought that it was a great book for people that play any sports. He seperates the chapters into certain goals that you should carry and what characteristics should be important to you. He talks about keeping friends and family close, because they will always be their to lift you up from tough situations. He also talks about being motivated in everything you do. He also talks about learning from your mistakes and getting better. He talks about what he learned from his former coach Bob Knight and how he was a great mentor for him. It is a great book to learn from and it teaches you how to grow as a basketball player and also a person. Coach K obviously tries to stay out of the way of his players genius and tendencies. I liked the sections where he learned better methods of playing from many of his great players. Coach K likes to focus his teams attention. Rather than leading into a game with a long speech, he will put one word up and ask the team to keep that word in mind. It will be a word that reflects something needed to keep the teams focus before a game. So it is a good book so you should read this.
