Review:
"Hard Work is a successful coach's memoir not because it provides a blueprint for success but because it reveals the humiliations and insecurities that have stoked Williams' competitive fire." --Will Blythe, The Raleigh News and Observer
"A star coach tells his inspiring tale . . . by the end of this engaging tale, you'll realize why Williams is an unparalleled recruiter . . . He works as hard as anyone, and he knows how to tell a good story." --Sports Illustrated
"Hard Work is a successful coach's memoir not because it provides a blueprint for success but because it reveals the humiliations and insecurities that have stoked Williams' competitive fire." --Will Blythe, The Raleigh News and Observer
"If Roy Williams has a secret it is that he is the same person now that he was when I first met him as Dean Smith's No. 3 assistant many, many years ago. This book is a clear reflection of that man--hard working but loyal, dogged, self-deprecating, and, at his core, one of the world's truly good people." --John Feinstein
"A near perfect embodiment of the American Dream."--Kirkus Reviews

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A star coach tells his inspiring tale . . . by the end of this engaging tale, youll realize why Williams is an unparalleled recruiter . . . He works as hard as anyone, and he knows how to tell a good story. Sports Illustrated Coach Roy Williams is one of the most respected and successful basketball coaches in the nation; he has led the UNC team for the past 18 seasons, with 903 career wins, three national championships, led his team to five Final Fours, finished first in the ACC regular standings nine times, and won three ACC tournament championships. And yet, Williams traveled an unlikely path. In Hard Work he tells the story of his life, from his turbulent childhood through a coaching career with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Williams recounts his rough early years; his long tenure as head coach at the University of Kansas; how he recruits, teaches, and motivates his players; how hes shepherded teams through some of the most nail-biting games at both Kansas and UNC; and how he suffered through one of the roughest seasons of his tenure and came out on the other side to be awarded 2011 ACC Coach of the Year. One of the most accomplished basketball coaches of all time, Williams was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame. One of the most successful basketball coaches in the nation tells the story of his life, from his turbulent childhood through a coaching career with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Williams recounts how he recruits, teaches, and motivates his players; how he's shepherded teams through some of the most nail-biting games, and how he coached his team through one of the roughest seasons of his tenure. 336 pp. 35,000 print.
