HARD WORK: MY LIFE ON AND OFF THE COURT

Book ID/图书代码: 14560010B34561

English Summary/英文概要: One of the most respected and successful basketball coaches in the nation, Coach Roy Williams traveled an unlikely path to a career that boasts the highest winning percentage among all active college coaches. Now, for the first time, he tells the story of his life, from his turbulent childhood to the North Carolina Tar Heels’ 2009 national championship season.

With unbridled honesty, Williams recounts his rough early years in the mountains of Western North Carolina. During the troubled times of his adolescence, Roy’s escape was a basketball court—whether it was a neighbor’s dirt court or the local school gym where he’d shoot for hours at night. There was nowhere else to go, but as it turned out, no place he’d rather be. The first in his family to go to college, Williams wound up at the University of North Carolina with the dream of becoming a coach and learning under the celebrated Dean Smith.

He also recalls his long tenure as head coach at the University of Kansas and his two heart-wrenching decisions—to stay in Kansas at the program he built, and later, to return to UNC, to the one that built him—and the accusations that followed both.

Williams’ autobiography lays plain how he recruits, teaches, and motivates his players, and how he’s shepherded teams through some of the most nail-biting games at both Kansas and UNC. His approach helped earn him the third-highest winning percentage in NCAA history: better than Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Knight, and even John Wooden. So far, the Hall of Famer has coached in seven Final Fours, winning two NCAA championships in the last five seasons.

In Hard Work, Williams reveals the determination that took him from the humblest of beginnings to the pinnacle of coaching success, sharing his story because he believes that anyone can be inspired by its message: hard work really can make dreams come true.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 天道酬勤:北卡球队教练-威廉姆斯自传

做为一名资深的美国大学生篮球迷,大家对老“K”教练个人以及杜克大学篮球项目取得的成就表示肯定。毋庸置疑,已在杜克连续执教三十年、取得过超过770场胜利、带队获得过三届NCAA冠军的老“K”教练是美国大学生篮球最成功的教练之一,在美国篮球界有着举足轻重的地位。但有着过人执教能力的老“K”教练始终不能让杜克大学篮球项目在其联盟内有着统治的、压倒性的地位,其原因之一就在于其死敌北卡大学与其的制衡:上世纪八、九十年代北卡前任著名教练史密斯与老“K”教练之间的明争暗斗,到本世纪则演变到了罗伊-威廉姆斯教练与老“K”教练的你争我夺。仅从成绩上看,罗伊-威廉姆斯带领的北卡大学要优于老“K”教练的杜克大学,前者带队获得了2005年及2009年的全国冠军,而后者最近一次获得的全国冠军是在九年前了;威廉姆斯教练带领的北卡球队在从2006年到2009年间,四次在客场战胜杜克,确立了北卡近年在对阵杜克的对抗赛中压倒性的优势地位。

做为北卡前任著名教练史密斯的首席助理教练及接班人,威廉姆斯教练出身贫寒,在饥寒交迫的情况及父母离异的家庭中长大。凭借自身的刻苦努力及亲朋好友老师的帮助,威廉姆斯成为了其家族中上大学的第一人。
在北卡的大学生涯中,威廉姆斯珍惜每一次篮球队训练及上场比赛的机会,获得了史密斯教练的认可。经过几年的北卡篮球夏令营义务服务和高中篮球执教机会的磨砺,威廉姆斯获得了人生的转折点,重返北卡篮球队,成为了史密斯教练执教班组的一员。
十年磨一剑,在学到了大学执教真谛及得到史密斯教练的推进后,威廉姆斯入主另外一所篮球传统强校堪萨斯大学,成为了续写堪萨斯大学篮球项目辉煌的掌舵人。威廉姆斯教练在堪萨斯大学执教15年期间,除了第一年球队因资格问题没能够参加NCAA锦标赛外,连续14年带领球队打进NCAA锦标赛第二轮,四次获得区域赛冠军,两次获得全国亚军。威廉姆斯教练带领堪萨斯大学不断地创造各种NCAA记录,这其中包括1994-98年期间,球队在主场“阿伦”体育馆创造了62场全胜的记录。在教练威廉姆斯的总管下,堪萨斯大学篮球是上世纪90年代美国大学生篮球最炙手可热的项目之一,是众多美国高中生篮球之星的首选大学,如NBA球员保罗-皮尔斯,里夫-拉弗伦茨,尼克-科林斯等就是其中的代表。
2003年,在目睹了母校北卡大学篮球项目的衰退后,威廉姆斯教练毅然的辞掉了堪萨斯大学篮球队一职,回到了教堂山,重新开始经营北卡大学的篮球项目。两年的时间,威廉姆斯教练就让北卡大学篮球队重返全国顶级球队行列,率队获得2005年全国冠军。做为美国大学篮球界公认的既奈特、史密斯教练之后新一代最成功的教练之一,威廉姆斯教练于2005年入选了美国大学篮球名人堂。2009年,威廉姆斯教练再度率领北卡大学获得全国冠军,既老“K”教练和康涅狄格教练吉姆-卡洪后第三位获得两次或两次以上NCAA冠军的现役教练。
2009年十一月底,威廉姆斯教练的自传《Hard Work》,在美国出版发行。
书中威廉姆斯教练以第一人称的写作手法,在以篮球和家庭为两条线索下,很好总结了他成长过程、执教生涯的各种经历,并详细记录了其二十多年大学执教的点点滴滴,语言平实、故事感人,是一本能对读者产生激励、立志效果的良作。
读完之后,相信大家都会深有感触。不仅会再次被威廉姆斯教练取得的各种成就所震撼,同时也对其在家庭、事业上的奉献精神及待人处事方面的独到之处感到由衷的钦佩。(AC)

Review
"Roy Williams’ story is honest, sincere, self-effacing, insightful, and engaging. It also provides a stirring road map on how to live life, not simply on the basketball court, but off of it. In a professional world routinely drowning in greed and excess, here is a role model to be treasured by anyone in any walk of life."
