Getting to us : how great coaches make great teams / Seth Davis.

Summary:

"What makes a coach great? How do great coaches turn a collection of individuals into a coherent 'us?' Seth Davis, one of the keenest minds in sports journalism, has been thinking about that question for twenty-five years. It's one of the things that drove him to write the definitive biography of college basketball's greatest coach, John Wooden, Wooden: A Coach's Life. But John Wooden coached a long time ago. The world has changed, and coaching has too, tremendously. Seth Davis decided to embark on a proper investigation to get to the root of the matter. In Getting to Us, Davis probes and prods the best of the best from the landscape of active coaches of football and basketball, college and pro ... to get at the fundamental ingredients of greatness in the coaching sphere"--Publisher's description.
