Description

Nick Nurse distills the wisdom, insight, and experiences that helped him lead the Toronto Raptors to the NBA championship in his first year as head coach.

Foreword by Phil Jackson.

NBA fans had low expectations for rookie coach Nick Nurse and his Toronto Raptors. But what those naysayers didn't realize was that Nurse had spent the past 30 years proving himself at every level of the game, from youth programs and college ball to the NBA D League and Britain's struggling pro circuit. While few coaches have taken such a circuitous path to pro basketball's promised land, the journey - which began at Kuemper Catholic high school in Carroll, Iowa - forged a coach who proved to be as unshakable as he is personable.

On the road, he is known to bring his guitar and keyboard for late-night jazz and blues sessions. In the locker room, he's steadfast and even-keeled regardless of the score. On the court, he pulls out old-school tactics with astounding success. A rookie in name but a veteran in attitude, Nurse is seemingly above the chaos of the game and, with only two seasons on his résumé, has already established himself as one of the NBA's most admired head coaches.

Now, in this revealing new book - equal parts personal memoir, leadership mani­festo, and philosophical meditation - Nurse tells his own story. Given unprecedented access inside the Raptors' locker room, listeners get an intimate study of not only the team culture he has built, but also of a rookie coach's unique dynamic with the star players - such as Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Low­ry, and Pascal Siakam - who helped trail­blaze the 2019 championship run. As much for listeners of Ray Dalio as for fans of John Wooden and Pat Summitt, Rapture promis­es to be a necessary listen for anyone looking to forge their own path to success.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“When the Toronto Raptors clinched our country’s first NBA Championship in the spring of 2019, they created a once-in-a-lifetime moment that brought Canadians together. Through Coach Nick’s leadership and vision, this hard-fought victory brought us to our feet, inspired heroes and role models for our children, and united us all. The Raptors are truly Canada’s team - and we’re proud of the exceptional role Coach Nick plays.” (The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada)

“There’s plenty in this book for everyone. Whether you’re a coach, player or just a curious person, Nick’s journey reveals many lessons in the pursuit of personal growth and excellence - and the benefits that accrue to those willing to bet on themselves.” (Steve Nash, eight-time NBA All-Star)

“Nick Nurse didn’t just work his way to the top. He lead his way to the top. He’s won everywhere he’s been as a coach for a reason. His leadership, story and principles will encourage and empower you. This book is a must read!” (Jon Gordon, best-selling author of The Power of Positive Leadership)

left me wanting

interesting background to the story of basketball and what it takes to make the big time. I learned something but was more interested in the backroom stories which left me wanting. Surely there is more to tell.

motivating

Thoroughly enjoyed! However... would have preferred Nick Nurse himself narrating at least some parts of the book. Shows how hard work and the drive to succeed can pay off.

Was more entertaining than I expected!

I thought this book would be 100% about the championship year. I expected to already know the stories and anecdotes, but I was wrong. Nick Nurse has lived a wildly impressive and unconventional life - this was inspiring. He’s bad-ass enough to get his players to perform at their best but also chill enough where I feel like he would be a really down to earth cool uncle. This book isn’t just for raptors fans. If you are a fan of the nba and/or underdog stories, this is for you. Thanks Nick for giving the Raptors your all. We The Champs! 🏆🏀

Nurse' voice would have made it perfect

Champion on the court and bookshelf. Enjoyed hearing the path which Nurse took to get to coaching the 2019 Champs. hearing some of the behind the scenes of the moments I remember watching while watching the Raps play. The only thing that was off was the narrator seemed to be chosen to sound like what people might expect Nurse to sound like but from a fan used to watching pre/post game interviews and know some of the references were just a bit off.
