Education of a Coach Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Facisnating look at the man behind the gray sweatshirt. I enjoyed learning more about Belichicks upbringing. What comes through clearly in the book is that he is obsessive about football and that obsessiveness is part of what has lead to his great success. "

" As a Patriots fan I thought I would love this book, but unfortunately it was a little bit to"footbally" for me . "

" As a Bill Belicheck fan, this book is great. Halberstam does a great job with Belicheck's life and how he became the coach he is. Reminds me of Sacred Hoops by Phil Jackson. "

" Interesting take on the back story and past experiences of super bowl winning coach Bill Belichick. "

" as if i don't love bill belichick enough already, this book made me admire his work ethic and leadership even more. i'm already anxious to re-read it. "

" I loved the history of Bill's father and what Bill learned about scouting from his father and then incorporated that into his coaching....which explains the videotaping. "

" A typical solid effort from Halberstam, who, in his usual simple, avuncular, explanatory style, educates the reader and turns in the definitive (to this point) biography of Belichick. "

" If you are a Patriots fan you must read this book. It's well written, and a nice look inside the mind of a coach. "

" From a far I really enjoyed the Patriots and how they seem to be at least three to four steps ahead everyone else. After reading about their coach, I understand why!! "

" Interesting insight into what made Belichick but certainly nothing revealing. Easy read, interesting to hear about his adolescence and his warfare with Parcells. "

" Great Book about Bill Belicheck, his life, and coaching. "

" Story of Bill Belichick and his dad. Pretty decent, a lot of fun considering how secretive Belichick is during the regular season, so it was cool to get inside a bit. "

" David Halberstam is good at writing sports books, because he usually aims for more than that: writing a good book in general. I hated the Patriots, and Bill, and Brady and all Patriots fans. The book covers the standard biography details, but sheds light on the origins of his obsession with winning. "

" It is about my Coach and by David Halberstam. Of course it is great! "

" A bit disappointing considering the author but not so surprising considering the subject. "

" Halberstam can make anyone seem sympathetic. Quite an accomplishment with this guy. "

" Great book if this fits into your geekness. I only wish there were more about Ernie Adams later in the book. "

" Essential read, especially in light of Gladwell's Outliers. Belichick practices Moneyball in football, especially in the draft. Halberstam is at his glorious best. "

" More information than anyone else has ever gotten out of this guy. The writing isn't exciting, just plain good. "

" If you are a die hard football as I am, you must read this book. If you are NE Patriots fan, I believe it is manditory reading. "

" Started off slow, then picked up. "

" This biography of Bill Belichik (whom, as I root for the Jets, I hate) is the best biography of a sports coach that I have ever read. "

" as if i don't love bill belichick enough already, this book made me admire his work ethic and leadership even more. i'm already anxious to re-read it. "

" A bit disappointing considering the author but not so surprising considering the subject. "

" Great Book about Bill Belicheck, his life, and coaching. "

" Story of Bill Belichick and his dad. Pretty decent, a lot of fun considering how secretive Belichick is during the regular season, so it was cool to get inside a bit. "

" I don't even watch football anymore, but Halberstam does such a great job of narrating the subtleties of being a professional coach, the strategies, the intrigues, that I was completely drawn into the narrative. "

" Good book. Not what I expected. It was not an "X"s and "O"s but a bio of him. Good read if you are a sports fan. (You dont need to be a Pats fan to enjoy this...I am not a fan) Over all get it at the library so you dont spend the money but it was OK. "
