No-How Coaching: Strategies for Winning in Sports and Business from the Coach Who Says "No!" (Capital Ideas for Business & Personal Development) Review
During his 51-year football-coaching career at St. John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, John Gagliardi's teams have averaged just under 62 points per game and he has now achieved the all-time "winningest" college football coaching title. Yet Coach Gagliardi is a maverick who dares to say "NO" to traditional coaching rules: no precision warm-up drills, no tackling in practice, no conventional calisthenics, no cheerleaders, no playbooks, no mission statements, and no discipline problems. Now his long-time friend, Jim Collison explains the maverick coach s "NO-How Coaching" method and how it translates from winning in sports to winning in the business world.
