Eleven Rings

Combining a sports memoir with a spiritual guide and a business manual, here the hugely successful sports coach Phil Jackson explains how he won more championships than any other coach in the history of professional sports. Explores the wellsprings of motivation and competition at the highest levels and what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

PHIL JACKSON is arguably the greatest coach in the history of the NBA. His reputation was established as head coach of the Chicago Bulls from 1989-1998; during his tenure, Chicago won six NBA titles. His next team, the Los Angeles Lakers, won five NBA titles, from 2000 to 2010. He holds the record for the most championships in NBA history as a player and a head coach. He also has the highest winning percentage of any NBA coach (.704). Jackson was a player on the 1970 and 1973 NBA champion New York Knicks. In 2007 Jackson was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. In addition to Eleven Rings, he is also the author of Maverick,Sacred Hoops, and, with his friend Charley Rosen, More Than a Game.
