sitelink middlesborodailynews. com/n I picked this CD book from the Dollar Tree, and thought I might help me become more productive in my everyday life as well as complete reading one self help book a month.
It has. It has a lot of good ideas and practices that I am excited to put into practice, It's a helpful guide to get the most out of your life by being focused and positive, The chapters are neatly laid out and inspiring, and we're I to look no further that would be just fine,
The wild thing is that according to the NCAA thatchampionship never happened, The scandal that came long after the book was published wiped away the whole year and ended in the coach leaving the school,
So what do we make of the two truths The story of inspiration and the legacy that followed Listened to this book: B, L. U. F. be humble. Written post sexscandal as a spin that things weren't as bad as press stated you decide, . . I am not sure why I read this book, I think I just needed something upbeat, Funniest part of the book is when Rick Pitino says that he saves all year to send his friends and family on a vacation, Does he really need to save when he receivedmillion from the Boston Celtics and currently makes,million a year for the University of Louisville Cardinals If he does then he may need a good financial manager, Giving yourself a one day contract is very motivating, Will you show your worth everyday Or will you get fired I believe Rick writes a very helpful book that is immensely practical,

Such a great book. Not only do you learn about Rick Pitino and his coaching style on a more personal level, you learn more about all of his players and friends, and about the game of basketball.
Very well written book. I have been inspired to make some changes on how I approach each day, Very informative perspective from a successful basketball coachkinda awkward hearing about his recruitment tactics and discussing theNational Championship win
knowing that following this book being published, the Louisville recruit prostitution scandal and Adidas scandal broke and they were forced to vacate the championship, final four appearances, and many wins.
Especially how he ended the book describing looking at and admiring the championship trophy
”Does someone wanna tell him” I had my doubts about this one, but turns out I loved it.
Humility and appreciating others were the main take away messages I got, This book is a must read for everyone especially teenagers and college aged so that they can learn early on how to set the stage to succeed and what success really means.
A lifechanging guide to achieving your goals, by theNCAA champion college basketball coach andNew York Times bestselling author,
Rick Pitino is famous as one of the most dynamic and successful basketball coaches of our time, leading the University of Louisville Cardinals to the NCAA basketball championship in, and is renowned for writing theNew York Times bestselling success and leadership book, Success is a Choice.
In his new book, The OneDay Contract, Pitino details his key to success, on the court and in life: to focus on making the most of each day, by creating a contract with yourself.
Coach Pitino was able to turn Louisville into NCAA champions by applying this idea to everything he and the team didevery practice, every recruiting visit, every game preparation, every scouting report, every instruction that he gave players and coaches, and everything he did himself.
Each day became just as important as reaching the national championship, and so, by honoring the oneday contract, he and Louisville moved through adversity toward their goal,
In this inspiring and practical guide, Coach Rick Pitino illustrates how to set your own oneday contract, and follow through to honor it for each day, each goal, and each interaction with another person.
Pitino shows how to:
Establish focus as a discipline in everything you do: planning, strategy, priorities, and career advancement,
Discover the true key to success: not ambition, not wealth, not power, but humility,
Use technology wiselybut don't let it replace personal connection with the people you work and live with,
Own up to your problems, tell the truth and they will become part of your past, Lie and they become part of your future,
Make small changes and add value to every minute of your life,
The OneDay Contract will reshape the way you approach your job, your goals, and your life, Great book. I love theday contract idea, The a day contract system ties in well with Dennis Deaton's Visioneering thoughts and David Allen's 'Getting Things Done' processes, Well worth the effort. excellent bookby far the best one Coach Pitino has written, all of his books are good but this one speaks volumes about how to react to adversity and how to get the most out of life.
. I give it . . The book was a combination of a self help motivational book and a chronicle of the road to winning theNCAA Mens Basketball Championship which as a Louisville basketball fan I did enjoy.
Whether you want to implement the oneday contract or not, Pitino's wisdom from coaching for overyears is on display in this book and everyone can learn some valuable lessons.
Concerning the reader of the audio book, I am going to have to give hime ZERO, How can you mispronounce John Wooden and Dick Vitale I don't know if he was trying to effect a New York accent, but it came across as a bad interpretation of a Boston accent.
How is that for irony Also, no postaudio editing was done, Here are just a few examples: Chane Behanan was "Chain", Gorgui Dieng was "Georgie Dang", Bellermine was "Bellermean" and he kept referring to UofL as "the UofL", That may come across as picky but if you are reading, get it right!!!
He's no Pat Summitt, but it was good, It might even be worth another listen in the future, Pitino is an inspiration. Makes you want to get out of bed and face the day with enthusiasm, Easy to read and inspiring, Loved the chapter on managing distractions, I also enjoyed how he mentioned how people reached out to him during his difficult times, Positive and motivational. One thing I like about his writing and approach is that he doesn't shy away from telling you that if you want to be a success it is going to take a lot of hard work.
There are no shortcuts on the road to greatness!,
