Avery Johnson is a coach, a teacher, and sometimes even a preacher, but most of all, he is a motivator, driving his team with the same fiery passion that allowed him to earn his championship credentials as an NBA player. Growing up in New Orleans's Lafitte Housing Project, he was never the biggest, fastest, or strongest, but by strength of will and character, he persevered. Now he offers the lessons he learned on his journey from the bottom of the bayou to the heights of success in this inspiring book. The goal isn't just to be successful, however; it's also about caring for other people along the way. "I care about you more than I care about winning," Johnson often tells his players. His spirited message is for anyone looking for the tools and secrets of success in business, school, sports, and more.--From publisher description.
