Toughness: Developing True Strength On and Off the Court

Toughness: Developing True Strength On and Off the Court

ESPN basketball analyst and former Duke player Jay Bilas looks at the true meaning of toughness in this New York Times bestselling book that features stories from basketball legends.

If anyone knows tough, itâ€™s Jay Bilas. A four-year starter at Duke, he learned a strong work ethic under Coach Mike Krzyzewski. After playing professionally overseas, he returned to Duke, where he served as Krzyzewskiâ€™s assistant coach for three seasons, helping to guide the Blue Devils to two national championships. He has since become one of basketballâ€™s most recognizable faces through his insightful analysis on ESPNâ€™s SportsCenter and College GameDay.

Through his ups and downs on and off the court, Bilas learned the true meaning of toughness from coaches, teammates, and colleagues. Now, in Toughness, he examines this misunderstoodâ€”yet vitalâ€”attribute and how it contributes to winning in sports and in life. Featuring never-before-heard stories and personal philosophies on toughness from top players and coaches, including Coach K, Bob Knight, Grant Hill, Mia Hamm, Jon Gruden, Tom Izzo, Roy Williams, Bill Self, Curtis Strange, and many othersâ€”Bilas redefines what it takes to succeed.
