from McGraw-Hill
Price: $12.89
Customer Review:
This small book by one of the most renowned sports figures of all time has less to do with Coach Wooden's winning records as a player and coach as it does with his broader views on what defines a "winner" - in attitude, in action, and in thought. As applicable in the business world as it is for... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

I'm very interested in this form of coaching, and am being coached successfully by someone who was trained in this system.

from Random House
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
I loved this book, but I am also a huge 49er fan. I could see how a non-49er fan might not love the book, as there is a lot of play-by-play accounts (which I loved). For example, the book gives some background behind "The Catch", which I thought was very interesting. It's neat to know what was going... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I avoid sports biographies like the plague, but the subject of Vince Lombardi always kept popping up in conversations about sport and coaching methods, even here in Australia.

Customer Review:
I didn't realize this book was only about 100 pages long. In some ways, it seemed like it might be targeted more towards young adults, with a fair amount of pictures. In general, I am a big fan of michael lewis and will certainly share it with my friends who are also fans, but don't necessarily... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

This book went through various questions about succeeding in life and listed all the responses from each coach. It was interesting but somewhat repetitive in that many said basically the same thing.
