NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Dan Hurley is one of the most famous head coaches in America today—in any sport. He returned the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team to their rightful place among the nation’s elite, winning back-to-back NCAA Championships, and he did it with uncommon passion. His on-court eruptions, his face-offs with refs and even fans, are legendary.

But behind all the winning and swagger is a story of intense, harrowing struggle. Son of a revered high school coach, younger brother of a college basketball icon, Hurley spent years fearing that he’d just never measure up. He suffered through several bouts of anxiety and deep depressions. As a young player he was ridiculed, as a young coach he came up short. Many people would have given up.

But through relentless will, and Jersey City grit, he reached the summit, becoming such a shining success that the Los Angeles Lakers came calling.

For anyone needing a boost or a blast of inspiration, for anyone leading a team or wanting to up their game, for anyone chasing greatness, Hurley’s story, told in his unique no-BS voice, is a must-read.

inspiring story for hard times

I enjoyed how Hurley tells his story authentically and without the filter. his growth arc and lessons listed through the dark days gives hope to the listener.

Honest

If you don’t like honesty. Don’t read this. No corners cut. As a college coach myself I appreciate this book

Maybe a bias UConn fan…

Was great to reminisce on the championship seasons and get to know and understand Danny a little better. It was awesome how open and vulnerable he was in this book.

Coach Dan is no nonsense honesty!

Great read, one of the better books I’ve listened to in a while. I only hope he knows what a great coach he really is.

Great Listen!

For a hoop junkie, this is well worth the listen. Great history in understanding Dan Hurley.
