Dalla quarta di copertina:

"Although Coaching Wisdom is based on firsthand interviews with coaches and their players, (author Mike)Harrity explained that it is about more than athletics. "This isn't a book about sports. It's a book for anyone who is a leader - of a family, a school, an organization, or a team," - Irish Underground
