This is an excellent book for anyone who is facing adversity and needs a blueprint to get their life back on track. Excellent book coach and keep up the good work! GO CATS!!

The book is a straight forward one written in the self-help genere. Hard work and positive attitude wins, and the message is given in an autobiographical way which will be liked by college basketball fans.

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my significant other, and he THOROUGHLY enjoyed it! He's recommended it to several others! The nice thing about ordering it off of Amazon is the numerous discount retail options avialable!

This book is really good and written in the style of how Cal talks, fast streams of consciousness thinking on a level different than most people with no negativity. The book is about recovering from a setback such as a job loss or divorce. He parallels this Trigger Event with his firing from the NJ Nets and the last second loss in the National Championship. He's very successful with this approach as he overlays the lesson with anecdotal stories of his Trigger Event and Bounce Back involving close friends, other coaches and stories of his teams.

If you have NO interest in self improvement, don't worry. Cal's writing style and basketball stories are more than enough to satisfy the basketball fans. You'll be very pleased with this fast, effective read which includes good mentions of his family particularly his wife Ellen who is the rock of the family. Cal may be gone from Memphis but his positive influence on the city will be felt for years.

Calipari knows all about falling and working your way back up. He's the ultimate in coaching and motivating. You absolutely can't go wrong with this book.

I started the book this weekend and am already thinking about some of the lessons in this book. One in particular, about being conscious of how you present yourself right after your trigger event, made so much sense and will stick with me for a long time. Can't wait to see what else is in store.

This book is so much more than tips on how to succeed in business and life - Coach Cal shares intimate and personal stories that make you feel like his confidante. He uses his invaluable life experiences - failures and successes - as lessons and practical (or practiCAL) tips on how to create your own winning story. Not only an enjoyable read, but a useful handbook for life!

Great format with a nice plan of action. Your friends in Memphis still care about you and wish you much success!

I could go on and on about how great John Calipari is but you should buy the book to see for yourself the kind of character this guy has! Great read!

What can I say I love this book. Coach Cal has such a positive attitude and this book is really inspirational - it is not a sports book per say - it is a book about being successful in life.
