Non-Fiction Memoir
The popular ESPN basketball analyst and former Duke player
looks at the true meaning of toughness. If anyone
knows tough, it's Jay Bilas. A four-year starter at Duke, he
learned an incomparable work ethic under coach Mike
Krzyzewski, battling against the greatest college players in
the game. After playing professionally overseas for several
years, he returned to Duke, where he served as Krzyzewski's
assistant coach for three seasons, during which the Blue
Devils won back-to-back titles. A graduate of Duke Law
School, he has since become one of basketball's most
recognizable faces through his insightful, intelligent work
on ESPN's SportsCenter and College GameDay. Through his ups and downs, on and off the court, Jay learned
the true meaning of toughness from coaches, teammates, and
colleagues. Now, he discusses this misunderstood—yet
vital—attribute and how it contributes to winning in
sports and in life. Featuring never-before-heard stories and
personal philosophies on toughness from top players and
coaches including Coach K, Bob Knight, Grant Hill, Mia Hamm,
Jon Gruden, Tom Izzo, Bill Self, Curtis Strange, and many
others—Bilas redefines what it takes to succeed.
