Love this.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Lol what.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Lol what.

This is a fairly common thing coaches will do. I know the women's team did one a few years ago.

After looking up the book, I think it might have even been the same one.

A buddy of mine that works for a publisher came into my shop the other day. Ordered a salad—he’s doing keto. I threw in a few croutons to give him a hard time. Anyway, he told me team reps just ordered 20 copies of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Must be next on the list

This powerful story of one boy's journey to achieve his life long goal of becoming a samurai warrior, brings the Train to be Clutch curriculum to life in a powerful and memorable way."

You read e-books; you listen to audio books.

I debated doing the audio book instead of the paperback I purchased, but I'm thinking this is the type of book in which I'm likely to want to take notes so I can come back to it for reference; and also perhaps something I'm going to want to pass on to my kids.

He read one:

UConn Star Kemba Walker Has Read ONE Book In His Entire Life

Books are for champions. Don't just give them away.

Winners get the privilege of reading books. Twitter for the masses

Wow. Great insider knowledge.

Imagine what Chief thinks.

Chief00 wants them to read "Rodman and the Art of Rebounding".

See, this is good to me. If they're into stuff like this, then they've already bought in fully. Those are the two most important kids to do so--along with Alterique, whom I've always imagined implicitly buys in to whatever he's doing--the most skilled player and the emotional leader.

If either of them were being sarcastic, then I take all that back.

Most important part about reading a book is making sure everyone knows you’re reading a book

And, when the movie version comes out, to remind everyone the book was better.

 

[the Q]

I know of a guy who does mental coaching with college teams. This is one of his favorite books. Not surprised that other coaches are having teams read it.

I sincerely hope you guys are kidding. The subtitle of the book is How to Fall in Love with the Process of Becoming Great.

One of the common complaints about the past year's team was that they were soft, not mentally tough, not focused, etc.

We're in the early stages of a major rebuild. To make it happen, It's going to take more than just court and weight room time. We need a major reboot in mental approach and mental toughness. Reading books like these and reflecting on them with your coach/mentor can only help.

I love seeing this and it makes me even more confident that Hurley's going to do great things for our teams. But I'm just a #30yearcasualfan so what do I know?
