Says Coach K: In all forms of leadership, whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, there are four words that, when said, can bring out the best in your team, your employees, and your family...I BELIEVE IN YOU.These four words can mean the difference between a fear of failure and the courage to try.In his previous bestselling books, Coach K has guided readers to success the way he has guided his teams at Duke University - - with the power of his inspirational words and phenomenal leadership skills.But that was with college kids.....Now, Coach K has stepped up to take on an entirely new challenge - by volunteering to coach the US Olympic Basketball team. Comprised of some of the biggest NBA stars, Coach K had to work with huge egos and personal rivalries in order to create an American team that could win against the best competition in the world and restore Team USA to the gold standard of basketball.This is more than a celebratory book - its Coach Ks first-hand account of how he dealt with such stars as Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and all the rest to buy into his total team play. Half a book on basketball, half a book on management techniques, THE GOLD STANDARD captures Coach Ks personal style and approach to getting different (and sometimes difficult) people to work hard and succeed in reaching a common goal.

Beyond Basketball

Five-Point Play

Leading with the Heart

Dedicated to our military men and women,

who taught us the meaning of selfless service

W ith eight minutes and twenty-three seconds left in the gold-medal basketball game of the 2008 Olympics, I called a timeout. Our United States team led Spain by only two points: 9189.

Pressure-filled moments like this one are about who your team has become. You hope you have developed a great shared character. You may even think that you have. But you dont know until this moment. This is the time when its tested.

We had been together through enough time and competition to truly become a team. And now we had to trust that the relationships we had formed, the standards we had established, and the practice in which we had engaged had made us worthy of winning. There is a time to call a play and a time to let them play. It was time to let them play.
