Summary

This book is a look at the ups and downs of coaching, what parallels there are between coaching and managing groups of people in a business setting, and why many folks think that being a coach is their "Dream Job". 

  • If you have ever wondered what it is like behind the scenes of coaching at the college level, this book will give you actual examples of the daily life of a college basketball coach. You will share the highs and the lows of coaching; the happy days and the not-so-happy days; the enjoyable tasks and the not-so-enjoyable tasks. 
  • If you have ever wondered if the parallels of business management and sports coaching are as pervasive as some folks think they are, this book will compare the actual experiences of someone who performed both jobs.
  • If you have ever wondered why so many people want to be coaches, this book will share some insight into the altruism that just may drive that desire. 

The book will walk you through the building blocks that had to be in place in order for the author to make such a drastic career change, the difference in relationships when you are a college coach versus a corporate manager, and an analysis of the success or failure of following your dream. Interspersed throughout the book are real-life stories that will make you laugh and cry, make you happy and sad, and make you pleased and angry as you will envision yourself walking in the author's shoes. In the end, you will be able to answer the question, "Was it worth it?" 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
