Heart of a Husky Determination Perseverance and a Quest for a National Championship Mel Thomas Geno Auriemma 9781578604418 Books Reviews
- As a coach I am always looking for ways to "speak" to my players in words they will understand and take to heart. I bought this book and lent it to my daughter to preview. I have never seen her so into a book, and we had several conversations brought about because of something she read. Her season started and she was a changed player, not in terms of skill but in terms of mental tenacity. Mel does a great job of not only telling her story but in relating to basketball players on their level. She inspired my daughter in ways that I could not. She is a great role model for female athletes and her story lays out the sacrifices needed and the demands placed on elite level athletes. I especially valued the emphasis she placed on how the good of the team supersedes the needs of the individual.
I coach a girls varsity basketball team and this book is going to be required summer reading for my returning players. - Uconn! Always number One for us!
- Good for what it is.
- This story is told from the heart. It could be an inspiration to any young athlete, but especially young women who want to play basketball.
- interesting behind the scenes read.
- This book has an amazing insight into what it takes to work hard and try to be a national champion! I love Mel Thomas when she played at UCONN you can see the hardwork that she put into her career.
- I owned this book before. Lent it out to somebody, don't remember who, never got it back. So I had to order an other one. Just love the book and keep it in my library.
- Mel captures the flavor of Uconn Ladies Basket Ball and the States love affair with them.
