Sacred Hoops (Revised): Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior

A great story, but only a good book. Really this is what I think is honest to say about this work. This is because for as much as I have loved reading about the making of the best basketball team in history from such a privileged angle and for as much as I love the man himself and what he preaches for, yet to be objective the narrative does not live up to the wealth of the content. Rhythm is probably what is missing the most, with frequent gaps in the story and a general fluidity that is severely lacking. Basically, the story does not flow as it should and often it struggles through meaningless yet lenghty stretches only to rush over episodes which would deserve to be explored in full depth. But this is from an objective point of view and only relating to the literary side of the book; personally I would recommend it to anyone and talking about the content this opera should be studied, and well, by anyone willing to coach any team in any given sport. A marvellous lesson from a marvellous teacher. Thus five stars and thus READ IT!!

It gives you a clear idea about FJ looks at a team. How to accomplish working as a team and how to win as a team. A holistic approach.

This is a very easy read about one of the most famous coaches in world sport making his way in the basketball world and the lessons he learned along the way. There are also some interesting sections on how he attempted to manage a sports star, Michael Jordan, who had the sports world and beyond at his feet.

This book was great for an explanation of Jackson's coaching philosophy. I was looking for insights into how he lead his talent for lessons for business leaders and this book delivered. A refreshing alternative to command-and-control, Jackson's mix of Zen and Indian philosophy in another context could seem flakey: from someone who took the Bulls to 5 chanpionships in 9 years, it's amazing and inspiring. A great book from an outstanding coach.

Awesome

My son is iin competitive basketball and this book gives a good insight into performing at the highest level. Good value

Great read for any manager looking to drive performance. Dont let the name put you off, some great analogies that can be applied to business.

This book gives good insight into Phil Jacksons views on managing teams, I feel that it is more suited to fans of the Bulls or Phil Jackson rather than those who have little interest in the sport.

I think sports are a great source of learning, specially regarding discipline and leadership. Phil Jackson is one of the greatest leaders in sports and this book is certainly a great source of lessons.

What a book! A must for basketzen lovers

You learn a lot about teamwork and how Phil made a team out of great individuals.

Fácil de ler e muito interessante. Livro também sobre liderança e a importância de pensar no agora (o famoso mindfullness).

Libro da leggere. Tante storie personali sui CHICAGO Bulls e grandi lezioni di leadership.
