GREAT BOOK FROM A GREAT LEADER

I could go on and on about how great John Calipari is but you should buy the book to see for yourself the kind of character this guy has! Great read!

Fantastic!!

Calipari knows all about falling and working your way back up. He's the ultimate in coaching and motivating. You absolutely can't go wrong with this book.

More Than a Coach

This book is really good and written in the style of how Cal talks, fast streams of consciousness thinking on a level different than most people with no negativity. The book is about recovering from a setback such as a job loss or divorce. He parallels this Trigger Event with his firing from the NJ Nets and the last second loss in the National Championship. He's very successful with this approach as he overlays the lesson with anecdotal stories of his Trigger Event and Bounce Back involving close friends, other coaches and stories of his teams. If you have NO interest in self improvement, don't worry. Cal's writing style and basketball stories are more than enough to satisfy the basketball fans. You'll be very pleased with this fast, effective read which includes good mentions of his family particularly his wife Ellen who is the rock of the family. Cal may be gone from Memphis but his positive influence on the city will be felt for years.

Awesome Book!!!!

This is an excellent book for anyone who is facing adversity and needs a blueprint to get their life back on track. Excellent book coach and keep up the good work! GO CATS!!
