    This is an excellent book; well written, easy to read and interesting. It includes well thought out principles that make good practical sense and apply equally well to sports, business or life in general.

    This is a terrific follow up to Hockey Tough.

    Picked up Why Teams Win as I'm currently coaching my son's little league team. It has been helpful working with the kids, however, I had no idea how relevant it was going to be to my own work. I manage a corporate sales team, have been doing so for almost a decade, and can not believe I haven't thought of/come across some of these practices in the past.

    Specifically useful for me is how Miller defines the different types of team and outlines the different coaching/team building strategies for each one. I work in a org that's very top down, which requires one leadership style, but my specific group is very individually based, which requires another, something I never thought of before.

    If you work in business, or in a team setting of any kind, I'd be very surprised if you didn't find this of use.
