One of the greatest coaches of all time makes the argument
for realistic preparation—in sports and in life—as an
antidote to thoughtless optimism and wishful thinking. Even before Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive
Thinking, Americans were famous for their optimism. But
there are two sides to any contest—and there’s always a
loser, no matter how much positive thinking occurs on both
sides. In this pragmatic and inspirational book, legendary
firebrand Coach Bob Knight, the second-winningest coach in
NCAA history, turns conventional thinking on its head.
Famous for turning even the unruliest players into focused,
disciplined teammates, Knight argues that the greatest
leaders anticipate and prepare for a negative scenario. They
succeed by expecting things to go wrong at any moment, and
by building a realistic strategy that takes all potential
obstacles into account. Knight uses fascinating behind-the-scenes examples from his
long career to convey the power of negative thinking in
sports, business, and life. While it might ruffle
feathers—and nobody ruffled feathers like Coach
Knight—negative thinking achieves positive results.
