Getting to Us: How Great Coaches Make Great Teams Free Audiobook Download by Seth Davis
In 'Getting to Us: How Great Coaches Make Great Teams', Seth Davis talks about how a coach can help make a great team by conveying the message of what a player needs. It's not about what he is doing. A good coach can alter this perspective on how someone else feels, so instead of focusing on what you're doing wrong, you focus on what you're doing right.
When coaches are great, they make their teams more talented. They motivate players to learn and practice new skills. They help them get to know each other better, as well as create a positive team culture that makes players want to be there. Seth Davis, author of Getting to Us: How Great Coaches Make Great Teams, explains all of this in his book.
The audiobook also has a section where the author, Seth Davis, interviews elite college coaches who explain their thought process when identifying coaching candidates. Some of these coaches include John Wooden and John Calipari.
"Coach K is the best coach in the world," said John Calipari. "Not just because he's won a bunch of titles, but because he's got this ability to get people who have never played together before to play together." Coach K has been in the business for over two decades now and has won two national championships in that time. He is one of the game's most recognizable coaches and is known for his three-point shot, infamous press conferences, and 573 wins at Duke.
This is the third book in Seth Davis's 'Getting to Us' series, which has been a best seller since it was published. The book starts with a definition of what makes a good coach and then discusses how coaches can improve their teams. It also discusses what makes a good manager; it includes examples of coaches who have made great teams as well as others who have failed miserably. Seth Davis uses his own experience to discuss what he has learned about being a coach, manager, or leader. There are several helpful tips that are included in this book, including ones to help athletes avoid poor decision making and mistakes while playing sports.
In his new book, Getting to Us: How Great Coaches Make Great Teams, Seth Davis talks to many of the most successful coaches over the course of his career. These coaches include John Wooden, Bill Walsh, and Pat Riley. They share their secrets to making great teams and they were all coaches that were hired because they won. Coach Wooden was hired even though UCLA only won two games the previous year. Coach Walsh led the 49ers to victory in Super Bowl XXIII and later took San Francisco to four more Super Bowl appearances in a row. That is why he was hired by coach Phil Jackson as an assistant coach for the Lakers when Jackson took on a similar approach as Walsh's in coaching.
