Courting Success

In this book, everything is right to the point. Coach McGraw writes the book like you are part of the team. You are immediatly introduced to the Notre Dame Women's Basketball team. Later in the book, you meet her son, Murphy, her husband, Matt, and her assistant coaches. She first starts by explaining roles and explaining what each role is. These roles can be in life, at work, or on any athletic field. As the book progress, she starts to get more intense. She takes you through getting good team chemistry, the grueling practices, playing games, and she talks about the recruiting process. Courting Succes is a book that I believe everyone should read. It is the kind of book that shows you every detail of what really goes into being a winning college program. If you are a basketball freak, you will love this book. However, there are a lot of moments that Coach McGraw slows down the tempo of the book and teaches you a life lesson. When I read this book it got me fired up, and I felt like I was playing in the big game, I was there, feeling the pressure and hearing the crowd. This book is a pure adrenalin rush form the moment you read the first page.
