Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic bestseller, has inspired an optimistic perspective for millions of Americans. Now, in an inspirational and entertaining rebuttal, the legendary basketball coach Bob Knight explains why “negative thinking” will actually produce more positive results, in sports and in daily life. Coach Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history with 902 victories, explains that victory is often attained by the team that makes the fewest mistakes. His coaching philosophy was to instill discipline by “preparing to win” rather than hoping to win. That meant understanding the downside and drilling his teams to prevent the things that could go wrong. And when his teams did win, he made sure they didn’t dwell on their success, but rather looked immediately to the challenges of the next game. He applies this lesson to business strategy as well.
Coach Knight has long been inspired by his grandmother’s words, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” As the first person to teach Knight about the power of negative thinking, this book is dedicated to her pragmatic spirit.
Praise for Knight: My Story by Bob Knight
"There is a fascinating man hiding in these pages, a man whose multisided personality, startling depth, and undeniable intelligence may surprise many... both sides will come away with a better understanding of the man behind the often-vitriolic sound bites on SportsCenter."-Booklist"In Knight, we see for the first time an appealing warmth and candor that offer a different side to the Hall of Fame coach, to one of the greatest basketball minds in history." -The San Diego Union-Tribune"If you care passionately one way or another about Bob Knight, buy it. You’ll find it fascinating on so many levels."-Hartford CourantLes informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
