Book Description

What makes a sports team successful? What is a winning team culture in sport?How do you build team culture in sport? What does a winning environment look like?How do the sports team core values and life lessons of a winning environment influence young athletes?Think back through your life and sports you played? Whether it be football, wrestling, lacrosse, basketball, or hockey, what was your culture like? What values and lessons did your coach teach you? How did your coach and team culture while participating in youth sports impact your life? Have you ever wondered why some high school sports teams, with no recruiting, and oftentimes smaller athlete pools, are so successful year after year? Why do some teams win state titles or consistently finish at the top of their division or state year after year? What is it that these programs are doing that allows this success to carry through graduating class after graduating class? To get a better understanding, I figured I should start with the coach. I reached out to the winning-est local coaches talked at length on how they built their winning culture and what they do to maintain it. Right away, it was easy to see, with their grateful mindsets, humility, and inspiring presence, why these coaches were so successful. I then reached out to coaches from all around the country. From Texas football coaches and Minnesota hockey coaches to Pennsylvania and Iowa Wrestling coaches to California Volleyball coaches, they all enthusiastically agreed to participate, and share their knowledge, culture building strategies and inspiring stories. With over 500 state titles, 30 national championships, and a continued formula for success in shaping the young men and women of tomorrow, these coaches and their programs exemplify a winning environment. Along with the inspirational stories to be told about each school's culture, we found commonalities across this broad spectrum of successful sports programs. We compared these commonalities to successful business, military, SWAT, and other organizational models that participated. We found that the lessons we learn and attitude/culture we develop playing youth and high school sports transcends the athletic field and serves as a cultural foundation for which many successful organizations are built upon.Over 150 hours of interviews including:*Coach Gary Joseph of 7X Texas Football State Champion Katy High School*Coach George Quarles from 15X State Champion Marryville High School Football*Coach Mike Messere of 15X New York Lacrosse State Champion West Genesee*Coach Bob Shriver of Current National Champion Boys Latin Lacrosse*Coach Greg Urbas of 11 X National Champion/29 X Ohio State Wrestling Champion St Edwards High School*Coach Jeff Jordan of 17X Ohio State and current national champion St Paris Graham Wrestling*Coach Russ Cozart of 34 consecutive years/452 match win streak/ 16 straight state title Brandon High School Wrestling*4X National Coach of the Year Miller Bugliari of 20 X New Jersey State Champion Pingry School Soccer*Coach Jeff Brameier of 10X Connecticut Lacrosse State Champion Darien Lacrosse*Coach Trent Eigner of National Champion/Minnesota State Champion Lakeville North Boys Hockey*Coach Bill Hansen from 17X state champion/6X national champion Catholic Memorial Hockey*Coach Bret Almazan-Cezar of Volleyball National Champion/ 11 time California State champion Archbishop Mitty*Coach Hal Wasson of 8X Texas Football State Champion Southlake Carroll High School*Tom Landry Award Winner Coach Larry Hill of 3X Texas State Finalist Smithson Valley Football*A Retired U.S. Military Colonel*A former Marine who worked for mother Theresa, taught high school students, and climbed Mt Everest*A 3 time cancer survivor*Two Multi-Billion dollar company executives and other business and organizational leadersand more.Pick up your copy today and start a tradition of excellence

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the coach of the 2016 and 2018 NCAA Tournament–winning Villanova University men’s basketball team comes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a champion, along with lessons from his coaching career and the story of his personal road to success. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG When Kris Jenkins sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament, it was a victory not just for a team and its coach but for an entire program. In his twentieth season with the Villanova program, including a five-year stint as an assistant to Coach Rollie Massimino, Coach Jay Wright had achieved his lifelong dream—and witnessed the culmination of a decades-long effort to build a culture of winning around a set of core values. In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015–16 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors. Each step of Villanova’s journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright’s own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply, not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before us, Jay Wright’s core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone—from the head coach to the last player on the bench—can be a leader when the moment demands it. The product of a lifetime’s worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture. Praise for Attitude “Jay Wright’s Attitude is filled with wonderful anecdotes, life lessons, and that which we all seek: wisdom.”—Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman emeritus, Nike “In 2015–16, Villanova displayed the best attributes of a champion by playing hard, smart, and together. Jay Wright instilled those traits in his team, and in Attitude he shares the universal leadership lessons that helped it succeed.”—Mike Krzyzewski, head coach, Duke University basketball
