Synopsis
Says Coach K: "In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family...I BELIEVE IN YOU.
These four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try."
In his previous bestselling books, Coach K has guided readers to success the way he has guided his teams at Duke University - - with the power of his inspirational words and phenomenal leadership skills.
But that was with college kids.....Now, Coach K has stepped up to take on an entirely new challenge - by volunteering to coach the US Olympic Basketball team. Comprised of some of the biggest NBA stars, Coach K had to work with huge egos and personal rivalries in order to create an American team that could win against the best competition in the world and restore Team USA to the gold standard of basketball.
This is more than a celebratory book - it's Coach K's first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all the rest to buy into his "total team" play. Half a book on basketball, half a book on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures Coach K's personal style and approach to getting different (and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in reaching a common goal.

From AudioFile
Duke University and Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski (author) teams up with daughter Jamie Spatola (narrator) to offer a powerful audiobook that helps the listener make meaningful connections between leadership-building skills and the rise of the 2008 gold-winning U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball team. Coach Krzyzewski relates his team-building techniques to personal experiences that occurred at both the individual and team level team took shape. Jamie Spatola's relationship to Coach Krzyzewski gives breadth and depth to her narration and helps this audiobook to become a much more intimate experience for the listener. Spatola's passion and belief in the wisdom of her father's words are felt with every syllable she speaks. J.P.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
