  • Success Is a Choice: Ten Steps to Overachieving in Business and Life

Le Pitch

Présentation de l'éditeur MAKE RICK PITINO YOUR PERSONAL COACH AND ACHIEVE MORE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. For Rick Pitino, the first coach to bring teams from three different schools to the Final Four, success isn’t about shortcuts. Pitino’s secret–and the reason he has become both a great coach and one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the nation–is his strategy of overachievement. Now, in Success Is a Choice, he takes the same proven methods that have earned him and his teams legendary status and gives you a ten-step plan of attack that will help you become a winner at anything you set your mind to: ·Build your self-esteem ·Set demanding goals ·Always be positive ·Establish good habits ·Master the art of communication ·Learn from good role models ·Thrive on pressure ·Be ferociously persistent ·Learn from adversity ·Survive your own success An inspiring program that is as fun to read as it is practical, Success Is a Choice can make the difference between achievement and failure in your own life. “So much more than another Armani suit, Pitino has done a job of psychology and salesmanship that should serve as a how-to manual for his profession.” – Chicago Sun-Times “Pitino’s track record is extraordinary . . . his personal style is also winning.” – Time Extrait When I became the coach of Providence College in the spring of 1985, I was inheriting a program that had been languishing near the bottom of the very competitive Big East Conference ever since the conference began in 1979. I had been an assistant coach with the New York Knicks at the time, and there were people who warned me that the Providence job was a graveyard for coaches. In one of my first meetings with the team, I listed four categories on the blackboard: basketball, school, work ethic, family. The four supposedly most important parts of my new players' lives. "How many of you want to be professional basketball players someday?" I asked. Virtually every hand in the room went up. "Well, since you've had a losing season last year and there is no one here in this room who averaged at least ten points a game last year, it's obvious you are not a success in the basketball part of your lives," I said, erasing one quarter of the blackboard. "And since I've seen your grade point averages, it's also obvious you aren't successful in school either." The room was silent as I erased another quarter of the blackboard. Then I turned to the trainer and asked him how many players had been in the gym every day since the season ended. I wanted to know how many had been working on their games. "No one, Coach," the trainer said. "So it's obvious you don't work hard either," I said, erasing another quarter of the blackboard. Then I started raising my voice. "Let's see," I said. "You aren't successful in basketball, you aren't successful in school, and you don't work hard. What's left?" I paused for emphasis. "Well, hopefully, you're a close team," I finally said. "Hopefully, you care about each other." "Oh, we do, Coach," said a player named Harold Starks. "We're a close team." I pretended to think for a minute. "Okay, Harold, how many brothers does Steve Wright have?" Starks slowly shook his head. "What does Billy Donovan's father do for a living?" Harold now looked like a deer stuck in the headlights. "So you really don't know anything about each other, do you?" I asked. No one spoke. I made each player stand up and talk about himself and his family. Then something wonderful happened. What had been twelve individuals suddenly had become a cohesive unit. The makings of a team. Twenty-two months later that collection of individuals--now a team--would be in the Final Four, the greatest stage in all of college basketball. The message I tried to communicate had started the players on the road to becoming a cohesive, hardworking group of people whose change in attitude about themselves as individuals had made Afficher moins Afficher plus
