If you've cheered even once....

...for the Connecticut Huskies you must read this book. I am a 1995 Graduate of UConn. I was at the school for a chunk of this miraculous decade. And I have never felt more proud of that school or that amazing basketball team than I do after reading this book. Jim Calhoun is funny, strong, tender and candid in this book. A man whom we don't often get an insight to (other than reading a few four letter words on his lips from the sidelines) opens his heart and soul to us in this book. He shares the moments that tore him down, and the moments that made him realize he has the best job in the world. He is an inspiration. A leader. A great coach. And, a champion.
Couldn't put it down!

As a UCONN grad (class of 88) this book was a wonderful retrospective of Jim Calhoun's work ethic, love, tragedies, perseverence and humor that led to a storybook finish at the NCAA Final Four. I couldn't put this book down as it took me down memory lane. I really enjoyed Jim's wit and honesty and understand why he has built such a great program. It shows how success is created; with a lttle luck but alot of hard work, perseverence, discipline and making the best of what you have. I think this is a great read for any sports fan but is a must read if you have been caught up in the magic of Connecticut basketball.
You don't have to be a basketball nut to love this book.

Jim has written a warm and sincere account of the Huskies run to the Final Four. The average basketball fan will enjoy reading about the action behind the scene leading to the game against Duke. UCONN fans will absolutely love it!
Fantastic...A wonderful book for fans of the Game of Life

I can't say enough about this new book by Jim Calhoun. Jim's accomplishments during his time at UConn are a tribute to everyone who has gotten back up after being knocked down. This is a truly inspirational story of a family of young men who simply would not give up. The behind-the-scenes look provided by Coach Calhoun at the Huskies' championship season should not be missed by Connecticut Basketball fans in particular, and sports fans in general. I will read this book over and over again.
