Basketball Books Review:

The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team
By Coach Mike Krzyzewski

Says Coach K: "In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family... I BELIEVE IN YOU.

These four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try."

In his previous bestselling books, Coach K has guided readers to success the way he has guided his teams at Duke University - - with the power of his inspirational words and phenomenal leadership skills.

SAFELY ! ...
But that was with college kids..... Now, Coach K has stepped up to take on an entirely new challenge - by volunteering to coach the US Olympic Basketball team. Comprised of some of the biggest NBA stars, Coach K had to work with huge egos and personalrivalries in order to create an American team that could win against the best competition in the world and restore Team USA to the gold standard of basketball.

This is more than a celebratory book - it's Coach K's first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all the rest to buy into his "total team" play. Half a book on basketball, half a book on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures Coach K's personal style and approach to getting different (and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in reaching a common goal.

"... This is as someone said a self-congratulatory expose about the 2008 USA Olympic basketball team with team dynamic tidbits thrown in. Nothing new and nothing in enough depth to sound convincing. My guess if you wanted to know how the team was put together and turning points for the team this book might be of interest. It is not worth your time if you are purely looking for content on team- building. Basketball fans only ! ..."
