Great list, I would add No Excuses by Kyle Maynard

[ridingtime]

I would add:

The Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx

Quite Strength by Tony Dungy

A Winners Manual by Jim Tressell

 

Thanks for the reading list though, it's always good to be sharpened by others.

Here are some of mine:

 

Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx - great book, about turning boys into men

 

Cowboy Up by Kim Parrish - story of John Smith and Okie St. 2004-05 season

 

Four Days to Glory by Mark Kriedler - quest to be a 4x Iowa state champ - you will know the names - Morningstar, Boershel, LeClere, Slaton

 

Good to Great by Jim Collins - business book, so a little tough to read, but you will find all sorts of things that make you think about moving your program from "good to great" - the best line in the book is "Good is the enemy of great." I've seen it too many times to not believe it.

 

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencion - again a business book but very applicable to sports
