Book Reviews of Beyond Basketball: Coach K's Keywords for Success
Book Review: Not Only for BBall Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not only a book for Duke fans or college bball hopefuls. I bought this book after two of my friends/colleagues had used it in a presentation for one of our graduate courses. Being a language arts' teacher, I am always on the lookout for words with which my seventh and eighth graders can (or should) connect, and Coach K's list of important words really fit the bill. My "Vocab Rehab" is not just a study of prefixes, suffixes, and roots; it's my students sharing how they have experienced or seen those words in action. It's my contention that once they've practiced the words on paper and verbally, application to life situations and/or development of life goals will be easy next steps for them. Thank you, Coach K, for providing an inspiring book for everyone.
Summary of Beyond Basketball: Coach K's Keywords for Success
The Duke University men's basketball team has served as the gold standard in college athletics for well over two decades - and that's all because of the extraordinary impact of Mike Krzyzewski, the highly-respected coach of the Duke squad.Coach K's reputation as a teacher of young men has transcended his extraordinary success as a coach. The Duke team is always ranked at the top of the college game, year in and year out, but what's truly remarkable about Coach K are his players and the legacy they leave behind: Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Elton Brand, Bobby Hurley, and on and on -- these are not just great basketball players, but individuals who have become true leaders in American society, all thanks in large part to Coach K's leadership.
So how does Coach K do it? In this new book, he reveals his tips, advice, and time-tested guidance on how he coaches and educates his players about life beyond the basketball court.
