Never Stop: Life, Leadership, and What It Takes to Be Great
永不停止：從低谷到巔峰，打造冠軍心態
內容介紹
📖「Dan Hurley 出身自籃球史上最頂尖的領導者家庭之一，所以他在 UConn 設下的高標準，並不讓人意外。就像他爸爸在 St. Anthony、哥哥在 Duke 一樣，Dan 是靠著毫不妥協的態度一路拚上來的。他的球員願意拼到冠軍等級，因為他們知道，教練是真心在乎他們。」~ Mike Krzyzewski（Duke 大學五冠名帥）
📖「偉大的教練都對完美有近乎執著的追求。Dan Hurley 的特別之處，在於他打造了一種文化：因為他真心關心球員，球員才能突破天賦限制，成為穩定的贏家。這正是真正領導者的天才之處。」~ Urban Meyer（三冠 NCAA 美式足球教練）
📖「老實說，我不覺得自己能在大學籃球做到 Dan 在 UConn 做到的事。我對他充滿敬畏。他在 12 場 NCAA 錦標賽裡完成二連霸，那種統治力，整個籃球圈的人都在問：這到底怎麼可能？」~ Bob Hurley Sr.（四冠名帥、奈史密斯籃球名人堂成員）
📖「領導力有很多種樣貌。Dan Hurley 很原始、很誠實、強度超高。他選擇忠於自己，用獨一無二的方式面對籃球與人生。他的故事不只關於比賽，而是關於成為真正的自己。」~ Ian Eagle（兩屆全美年度體育主播）

書評
“Dan Hurley emerged from one of the finest leadership families our sport has known, so it is no surprise that he set a standard at UConn that few coaches have ever matched. Like his father at St. Anthony and his brother at Duke, Dan earned his way with an unrelenting approach to the game. His players respond with championship effort because they know how much he genuinely cares about them”—Mike Krzyzewski, Five-Time NCAA championship coach at Duke, all-time men’s basketball leader in victories
“Great coaches are driven to strive for perfection. Dan Hurley has the unique ability to create a culture where caring for his players enables them to rise above their natural talents to create a consistent winner. That is the genius of a true leader.”—Urban Meyer, Three-Time NCAA championship football coach at Florida and Ohio State
“I doubt very much that I would have done in college basketball what Dan has done at UConn. I am absolutely in awe of what he has done. What the world has seen in his twelve NCAA Tournament games to win back-to-back national titles, I don’t care who I’ve talked to in the basketball world, they all just say, ‘How is it possible to have such utter dominance?’”—Bob Hurley Sr., Four-Time national championship coach at St. Anthony High School, Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer
“Leadership comes in all shapes and sizes. Dan Hurley is raw, brutally honest, and unwaveringly intense. He's made his mark by being true to himself and unique in his approach to basketball and life. His story connects on so many levels and goes beyond the game that has made him a Hall of Famer.”—Ian Eagle, Two-Time NSMA National Sportscaster of the Year for CBS/Turner Sports
