Leading with the Heart
The Sports Plus take
Coach K on building trust and leading a team.
Mike Krzyzewski coached Duke from 1980 to 2022 and won five national championships, and here he explains how he got the best out of his players: lessons from his years as an Army captain, respect, sportsmanship and leading with the heart. Grant Hill, who played for him at Duke, writes the foreword. It's written for coaches and managers as much as for basketball fans.

Book description
In this informative and inspirational book, Coach K explains how he motivates peak performances from his players, relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army and applied over four decades as the head of Duke basketball.
Duke University's head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has proved himself a leader both on and off the court. He's led the Duke Blue Devils to five straight Final Four appearances, culminating in back-to-back championships in 1991 and '92. He has received five National Coach of the Year Awards--and many of the players he coached in college have gone on to NBA stardom. Now Coach K offers the insights he uses to coax peak performances from his team, relying on lessons he learned as a captain in the U.S. Army, sportsmanship, respect, and a genuine gift for leading with the heart.
