Summary
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 20th 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 2015-2016 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 you, 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.

Lots of good life lessons
Great story filled with lots of sports, career, and business advice. This book really brings home the truth that a team is so much more than the sum of its players. Phil does a nice job narrating although I prefer Jay's somewhat deeper voice in the introduction.

Nova Nation !
Excellent story of Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats.
Must read for for College Basketball fans and for understanding of how faith and college sports successfully intersect.
Only shortcoming is lackluster narration.

huge waste of time
imagine listening to a guy talk about everything he's ever done in his coaching career. Imagine listening to a bunch of names you've never heard of and side stories of bunch of people that are completely irrelevant to the fact that you would like some advice from a season coach on how to get a team to achieve greatness. This book is a massive disappointment

Masterful! A must read for Players, Coaches And Business Leaders!!
Jay's insight and personal touch in revealing the journey to the National Championship that began with each coach and leader who influenced him producing the Villanova Culture "Attitude" and the little things that you must do to create the habits necessary to perform in life.
Well done Coach Wright!! Everybody has a different Role but has the same status.

Great Story, Great Lessons
I can’t say it’s quite what I was expecting - but, this easy to understand read unpacks the journey of the Villanova Wildcats men’s basketball team and staff to the National Championship. It’s lots of story and sprinklings of leadership lessons. What a privilege it would’ve been to play for this coach and for these teams.

As a coach this was very pleasant to listen too.
Very enjoyable to hear the history of his coaching career. Same time enjoying his perspective on how to deal with recruiting and the importance of not just all about Coach Wright. There are other moving parts that contribute to the program. Also allowing those people to do their jobs.

Highly Recommend!!!
Jay Wright does an excellent job of sharing stories of his coaching career that are examples for leaders who are in any leadership positions. He gives great real-life examples of how to build a positive culture within his program. His principles can be applied to any facet of life. Highly recommend!!!
