The Quotable Coach: Leadership and
Motivation From Historys Greatest
Coaches
It Is What It Says It Is
Using short, inspirational phrases that crystallize the concepts of
motivation and determination, many coaches-known and unknown, from
high school to the pros-have mastered the fine art of summing up a key
point in a single sentence or phrase. Sports coaches, perhaps more than
any other profession in America, are the best at delivering these short,
pithy quotes. The Quotable Coach is the first book to gather more than a
thousand of these inspirational wonders. It is filled with words to stoke your
competitive fires, touch your heart, raise your level of motivation, or even
make you laugh. As a sports columnist for The Washington Times, author,
Thom Loverro deals daily with coaches faced with the challenge of trying
to move their players to greater glory, or having to explain to a horde of
reporters why their team failed to meet expectations.

Personal Review: The Quotable Coach: Leadership and
Motivation From Historys Greatest Coaches
There are quote books for golf and law and just about every special
subject you can come up with. (I've edited a couple myself.) This is the
quote book of sports coaches. Lots of short powerful lines from "History's
Greatest Coaches" Mostly arranged as you'd expect by subject. But with a
few pages for each really great coaches (like John Wooden, Vince
Lombardi, Bear Bryant, Tom Landry etc) with his quotations all together,
along with some neat biographical info for these coaches. Too bad that
there is no source information for any of the quotes -- no year, no citing
sources, nothing. Also, while I griping, it's all American team sports -- no
international or womens coaching insights.
But overall it's a great read covering worthwhile subject matter. Who can't
learn something from all these folks that spent their lives teaching others
about winning and losing, desire and discipline. I laughed, and I learned.
That's worth five stars.
