Reach for the Summit description
Pat Summitt has been called a living legend. As head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, Summitt has taken her NCAA Division 1 women's basketball team to back-to-back national championships in 1996 and 1997, and five titles in a 10-year span. In Reach for the Summit, with the help of former Sports Illustrated writer Sally Jenkins, she draws from 24 years as a successful head coach to provide motivational advice for anyone who wants to succeed in sports, business, and life in general. Structured around her Definite Dozen system, each chapter covers one of her 12 commandments of achievement by interweaving personal anecdotes, strategies for success, and basic ethics. A lot of people can win once, she writes. They get lucky, or follow their intuition, or strike on a good short-term formula. But very few people know how to repeat success on a consistent basis. They lose sight of their priorities, grow content, and abandon their principles. Summitt's book is about building a system of principles and sticking to it. |

One of the best sports books ever written.....
|
Coach Pat Summit's work REACH FOR THE SUMMIT, not only is one of the best sports books I have ever read, but has clear and concise steps to improve on one's life. Coach Summit's elaboration on her DEFINITE DOZEN rules for her teams have been taken to heart by this writer. Not only would thest DEFINITE DOZEN rules be applicable to a sports team of any age, but could be used by a teacher and parent as well. In fact, I have copied these DEFINTE DOZEN rules and try to practice them in all of my affairs.
Coach Summit could be considered a disciplined, and non-bending coach, yet her success as an athlete, person, and coach would be a model for anyone. This is a concise, well-written and enjoyable book to read. |
