Kill the Unicorn

By: Emma Hayes, Michael Calvin - contributor

Narrated by: Emma Hayes

How do you get the best out of people? What does it take to make a team thrive?

Few people know the answers better than Emma Hayes. As the coach of Chelsea FC Women, she has led the club to 14 major trophies. She is a widely celebrated figure in sports media as a woman starting to get equal recognition in this space, and has been named TV pundit of the year by both Broadcast Magazine and the Sports Journalists Association. In 2021 she was named Best Football Coach by FIFA, in 2016 she was named MBE in the Queen’s 90th birthday honours list, and in 2022 was awarded an OBE for her services to football.

In her first ever book, written in collaboration with internationally best-selling author Michael Calvin, Emma shares her experience of managing a high-performance football team to draw out life lessons and techniques that listeners can apply to their own professional and personal circumstances.

Narrated by Emma herself, it’s also a fascinating look into the world of women’s football told by a woman at the centre of it, with frank, entertaining anecdotes from on and off the field.

Teamwork at every level every day

Emma weaves together her views on team management and leadership with her personal story. I find her credible, expert in her analysis and thorough in her illumination of all the elements of business or sport success. The two arenas have numerous legitimate corollaries. Got a little repetitive - a little tighter editing would be worthwhile. I’d like a hard copy on Kindle for reference. I appreciated hearing this in Emma’s voice. Go USWNT and Emma Hayes in the Olympics!
