The Art of Winning shares an abundance of coaching wisdom. Bill Belichick says that players achieved excellence with different approaches, but always with work.
Running back James White became a Super Bowl MVP with attention to detail in the passing game with a super human effort. Rob Gronkowski starred with a different psychological approach. Belichick described him as "alien."
Belichick's greatest compliment about his players? "All he cares about is winning."
Lagniappe. Belichick prizes the "in-between game." "It wasn’t an accident that Brady ended up on our team. From our earliest era of success, our team vision was to find players who knew how to execute the in-between game. We wanted players who embraced performing in ways that wouldn’t necessarily be accounted for in any stat, but would certainly be noticed by the coaches—getting out-of-bounds to stop the clock instead of picking up a couple more yards, or spreading the ball around as a QB to keep as many people engaged as possible."
