Summary: The book is written by the winning-est college basketball coach in the history of the sport.  The book does not have a focus on basketball but will draw interest from people who are interested in the sport.  The main focus of the book is how to apply the strategies of his coaching philosophies to applications in the business world.  At the end of each chapter is a summary and application of the philosophy from a former player who actually lived through an experience that they began to learn playing under Coach Smith.  The book has many practical applications for teachers, coaches and any one who assumes a leadership role.  I enjoyed it very much because of my interest in basketball and experiences in the business world, but I think that it is written in a way that anyone can find many useful applications from Coach Smith's experiences.

Recommended Audience:     Teachers, coaches, leaders and anyone interested in a future in business.
