Men's Golf Head Coach Bill Dicus
|
Is This a Great Game or What? by Tim Kurkjian |
 |
Softball Head Coach Amy Herrington
|
The Gold Standard by Coach Mike Krzyzewski and
Leadership and the One Minute Manager. They are books that help keep
your mind on your program during the summer down-time that can be distracting when
you are not with your team. |

When I get to take time off, I like (Robert) Ludlum and (Tom)

The Pep Talk: A Football Book About the Business of Winning by Kevin Elko and Robert Shook - given to me by Lindsay Cobb's mother
Man to Man by Richard Halverson - a book that I read all the time
Gameplan For Life by Joe Gibbs
Profiles in Audacity by Alan Axelrod - given to me by (director of student-athlete development and team chaplain) Reggie Hunt. It's neat because it gives insight on how the greatest leaders in the history of the world made the decisions and led the lives that they did.
When the Game is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box by John Ortberg - Given to me by some former teammates, it is a neat book because it is reality.
The Winners Manual: For The Game of Life by Jim Tressel
This summer, I am reading books that are motivational. I like reading books like these to find ways to help myself, our staff and our players to not let anyone down — themselves and our school and our community, in particular.

Baseball Head Coach Chris Pollard

Moneyball. I like the fact that it is very
applicable to what we do on the field in baseball. |

Women's Soccer Head Coach Sarah Strickland

Beyond Basketball: Coach K's Keywords for
Success by Mike Krzyzewski |
 |
Women's Basketball Head Coach Darcie Vincent
|
I am reading Tony Dungy's Uncommon: Finding
your Path to Significance and the Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. I
really like Tony Dungy's book because it discusses the philosophy of
coaching and relates it to real life. He really emphasizes the
importance of character as a person and how building character has made
him a successful coach and helped him to develop successful programs.
The Purpose Driven Life is an inspirational, religious book that
discusses life balance and is helping me to gain some growth as a person
and a coach. |
