    About this audiobook

    In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of a champion, the coach of the Villanova University men's basketball team shares his competitive and cooperative philosophy, along with lessons from his coaching career and the story of his personal road to success.

    When Kris Jenkins sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament, it was a victory not just for a team and its coach but for an entire program. In his twentieth season with the Villanova program, including a five-year stint as an assistant to Coach Rollie Massimino, Coach Jay Wright had achieved his lifelong dream-and witnessed the culmination of a decades-long effort to build a culture of winning around a set of core values.

    In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015-16 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors.

    Each step of Villanova's journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright's own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply, not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before us, Jay Wright's core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone-from the head coach to the last player on the bench-can be a leader when the moment demands it.

    The product of a lifetime's worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture.

    Read by author Mike Sheridan, with the introduction read by author Jay Wright, and the foreword read by Adam Lazarre-White

      Loved hearing the journey, lessons, perspectives, and overall foundations that embody the culture at Villanova. Enjoyed being able to tap into the mind of Jay Wright and the principles he utilized to lead his program. Great book.
