DESCRIPTION:
David. Book by Odom, G
From Publishers Weekly Considered one of the most competent in his profession, Odum, head basketball coach at Wake Forest University in North Carolina for the past seven years, has taken his team into NCAA postseason play seven times and led them to two Atlantic Coast Conference championships. Most intriguing of all, he claims not to read articles about himself or his team in the press, for he believes that sports reporters don't know as much about the game as he does. He notes that he wrote this book as a guide for young people who aspire to follow in his footsteps, and he succeeds notably. In discussing the coach's function in any sport, he makes a number of arresting observations: a coach who is not a teacher is not a good coach; a coach who relies only on computer printouts and other statistical data ignores the human
"This book is horrible" according to A Customer. I have a personally autographed copy of Dave Odom's book. I tried to read it and couldn't even finish. There is no "book", it's more like a little collection of what Odom must consider deep thoughts. It may be entertaining to people in 8th grade or less. Dave's "winning philosophy", you can do without.. Sarah A. said I love it!. End is not the Trophy is the greatest! I loved every minute of it. Without a doubt, this is the best book I have ever read.
