John Calipari knows that setbacks hit everyone, regardless of wealth, intelligence, or talent. The University of Kentucky basketball coach has faced his own public failures, but he discovered that difficult situations only become permanent when you let them stay that way. Coach Cal teaches his players that handling obstacles is crucial for success, both in basketball and in life. He learned that the right attitude makes all the difference when confronting major challenges. Now Calipari offers readers the same strategies he shares with his team. Through practical exercises and advice from successful people in his network, he shows how to become an active participant in your own recovery. The book provides tools and insights to help readers understand a fundamental truth: what matters is not how far you fall, but how high you can bounce back.
