Overview
Dan Hurley is one of the most famous head coaches in America today--in any sport. He returned the UConn Huskies men's basketball team to their rightful place among the nation's elite, winning back-to-back NCAA Championships, and he did it with uncommon passion. His on-court eruptions, his face-offs with refs and even fans, are legendary. But behind all the winning and swagger is a story of intense, harrowing struggle. Son of a revered high school coach, younger brother of a college basketball icon, Hurley spent years fearing that he would just never measure up. He suffered through several bouts of anxiety and deep depressions. As a young player he was ridiculed, as a young coach he came up short. Many people would have given up. But through relentless will and Jersey City grit, he reached the summit, becoming such a shining success that the Los Angeles Lakers came calling. For anyone needing a boost or a blast of inspiration, for anyone leading a team or wanting to up their game, for anyone chasing greatness, Hurley's story, told in his unique no-BS voice, is a must-read.
