Says Coach K: "In all forms of leadership, whether you are a
coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when
said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees,
and your family...I BELIEVE IN YOU. These four words can mean the difference between a fear of
failure and the courage to try." In his previous bestselling books, Coach K has guided
readers to success the way he has guided his teams at Duke
University - - with the power of his inspirational words and
phenomenal leadership skills. But that was with college kids.....Now, Coach K has stepped
up to take on an entirely new challenge - by volunteering to
coach the US Olympic Basketball team. Comprised of some of
the biggest NBA stars, Coach K had to work with huge egos
and personalrivalries in order to create an American team
that could win against the best competition in the world and
restore Team USA to the gold standard of basketball. This is more than a celebratory book - it's Coach K's
first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron
James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all the rest to buy
into his "total team" play. Half a book on basketball, half
a book on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures
Coach K's personal style and approach to getting different
(and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in
reaching a common goal.
