The One Day Contract

How to triumph in difficult times, at work and in life, by the NCAA champion basketball coach and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Success is a Choice Rick Pitino is famous as one of the most dynamic and successful basketball coaches of our time, as well as the author of one of the biggest bestselling success and leadership books: Success is a Choice. In his new book The Force of Focus, Pitino squarely addresses the tough times so many people are facing in their lives, finances, and careers. Coach Pitino is no stranger to life-altering adversity, both on and off the basketball court. He's dealt with Final Four losses and NBA disappointments as well as the death of his infant son, the death of his brother-in-law and childhood friend on 9/11, and a highly publicized extortion lawsuit. But Pitino has overcome adversity again and again, and in The Force of Focus he shows readers how to do the same. Pitino explains how to: Establish focus as a discipline in everything you do: planning, strategy, priorities, and career advancement. Discover the true key to success: not ambition, not wealth, not power, but humility. Use technology wisely—but don't let it replace personal connection with the people you work and live with. Tell the truth to put your problems behind you and move on to success and happiness.
