2019 is shaping up to an amazing year of reading. This book keeps the momentum rolling as I devoured this book in about a week and then had to go back and read again to explore more deeply my highlights and scribbles in the margin.I really enjoyed the 25 words and has motivated me to think about my own words. What words with my youth teams pick? I found so many of the ideas concepts that can be applied as a teacher, youth coach, and parent. There are many universal truths contained in these pages that work no matter who you are. Additionally, I loved the basketball stories as I love reading about the drive of players like KG.I will be gifting this book to others, but for now it will be required reading for my own children so they can apply the principles to their own lives.

This was definitely a great investment and a book that I will come back to read again.

This is a great book for anyone looking for ways to grow and get better. The content of the book is certainly great and organized well, but more than that is the fact that it is evident that Kevin used these principles and continues to use them each and every day. It is inspiring and challenging! Thanks for a great book!

The words in this book are simple yet powerful and Kevin does a masterful job of making the correlation between the basketball court and the boardroom! Can't wait to read it again and make these words a part of my daily journey to bring the best me!

Kevin offers outstanding guidance in a precise, crisp prose. It's an enjoyable and easy read and you can dive in anywhere.I just ordered copies for several coaching friends. While he comes at his essential words from a sports point of view, the words are just as powerful from a career and life perspective. Any one, of any age, would greatly benefit from Kevin's elegant writing.

The author beautifully articulates why the best are the best - using personal examples as well examples of other champions in life. It’s a tremendous resource for anyone looking for ways to improve their life and with those they associate.
