It is what it says it is

There are quote books for golf and law and just about every special subject you can come up with. (I've edited a couple myself.) This is the quote book of sports coaches. Lots of short powerful lines from "History's Greatest Coaches" Mostly arranged as you'd expect by subject. But with a few pages for each really great coaches (like John Wooden, Vince Lombardi, Bear Bryant, Tom Landry etc) with his quotations all together, along with some neat biographical info for these coaches. Too bad that there is no source information for any of the quotes -- no year, no citing sources, nothing. Also, while I griping, it's all American team sports -- no international or womens coaching insights. But overall it's a great read covering worthwhile subject matter. Who can't learn something from all these folks that spent their lives teaching others about winning and losing, desire and discipline. I laughed, and I learned. That's worth five stars.
