About this title

Review

“It’s an antidote to America’s kiss-the-booboo Little League moms — and psycho bleacher dads, too.”—New York Post

“If the book could be summed up in one sentence, it’s probably the short, italicized one found in the introduction: 'Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.' But, such a digest would preclude any discussion of theology, turkey mating calls and the upside of being hard to please.”—Indianapolis Star

“Brightly anecdotal. Legendary college-basketball coach Knight sings the praises of negativity [in] a quick, negative-to-achieve manifesto.”—Kirkus
