Sacred Hoops Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior
Author: Phil Jackson, Hugh Delehanty
With a new introduction, Phil Jackson's modern classic of motivation, teamwork, and Zen insight is updated for a whole new readership "Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball." --Phil Jackson Eleven years ago, when Phil Jackson first wrote these words in Sacred Ho...  more », he was the triumphant head coach of the Chicago Bulls, known for his Zen approach to the game. He hadn't yet moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he would bring his total to an astounding nine NBA titles. In his thought-provoking memoir, he revealed how he directs his players to act with a clear mind -- not thinking, just doing; to respect the enemy and be aggressive without anger or violence; to live in the moment and stay calmly focused in the midst of chaos; to put the "me" in service of the "we" -- all lessons applicable to any person's life, not just a professional basketball player's. This inspiring book went on to sell more than 400,000 copies. In his new introduction, Jackson explains how the concepts in Sacred Hoops are relevant to the issues facing his current team -- and today's reader.

Refreshing read--i very much enjoyed it. True story about basketball and the way to win, attitude and thinking of others. No vampire fangs, no men with their muscles in your face, no women falling out of the gown they are almost wearing. Nice change. I love true stories and this was a good read if your into any kind of sports.

From a small town in North Dakota to a champion NBA coach. This is the story of a man who never forgot his roots, ethics and more importantly...the truth that you can be a winner but have a "we" not "me" attitude. He teaches a deep respect for the spirit of the players. His team members are taught to play hard but without anger or violence. Respect one another is the essence of Phil Jackson. What a refreshing attitude in this day of win-at-any-cost 'sport'.
