Says Coach K: ‘In all forms of command, whether you are a trainer, a CEO, or a parent, you will find four words that, when said, may bring out the very best in your team, your employees, as well as your family…I REALLY BELIEVE IN YOU.

These four words often means the difference between a concern with failure and the courage to try.’

In his previous audiobooks, Coach K has guided readers to success just how he has guided his teams at Duke University – – with the energy of his inspirational terms and phenomenal about The Gold Standard: Building a World-Class Team leadership skills.

But that was with college kids…..Now, Trainer K provides stepped up to take on an entirely new challenge – by volunteering to teach the US Olympic Basketball team. Comprised of a number of the biggest NBA celebrities, Coach K had to work with huge egos and personal rivalries in order to produce an American group that could earn against the very best competition in the world and restore Team USA towards the gold standard of basketball.

This is greater than a celebratory audiobook – it’s Coach K’s first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all of the rest to get into his ‘total team’ play. Half an audiobook on basketball, fifty percent an audiobook on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures Trainer K’s personal design and approach to getting different (and occasionally difficult) people to work hard and succeed in achieving a common objective.
