Attitude: Develop a Winning Mindset on and off the Court

Description

Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright shares the leadership lessons that built his NCAA championship team-and how to apply those lessons to any team. Jay Wright is one of the most admired and successful coaches in college basketball, but until now, his story has never been told. In this book, he will explain how he guided Villanova to the mountaintop by staying hungry, staying humble, and encouraging all of his players to think of themselves as leaders. Building his book around chapters themed to the core principles of the Wildcats' championship program, Wright will teach readers how these ideas can lead to success both on and off the court-and tell a riveting, inside sports story in the process.

JAY WRIGHT is the head basketball coach at Villanova University. He grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and attended Bucknell University, where he played varsity basketball. Prior to becoming head coach at Villanova in 2001, he served seven seasons as head coach at Hofstra University. He is a two-time Naismith National Coach of the Year.
