Summary
One of the most successful basketball coaches in the nation, coach RoyWilliams has traveled an unlikely path. In Hard Work, he tells the story of his life, from his turbulent childhood through a coaching career with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. And in a new afterword, Williams takes us past the two NCAA championship titles to the subsequent season, with its shake-up losses and the unexpected departure of key players, to a new season coaching some of the most dazzling players in the country to an ACC regular-season championship. Williams recounts how he recruits, teaches, and motivates his players; how he'¬"s shepherded teams through some of the most nail-biting games at both Kansas and UNC; and how he coached his team through one of the roughest seasons of his tenure and came out the other side to be awarded 2011 ACC coach of the year. So far, the Hall of Famer has coached in seven Final Fours, winning two NCAA championships within five seasons.
