Rebound Rules: The Art of Success 2.0

“Rick Pitino knows a thing or two about comebacks—on the court and in life.”

—Louisville Courier-Journal

Basketball legend Rick Pitino reveals his model of success built upon his experiences of failure and personal loss in Rebound Rules—a powerful, deeply personal book about never giving up. Recalling the tragedies that shaped his life and career—his unsuccessful tenure as Celtics coach,  the devastating loss on 9/11 of his best friend and his brother-in-law and the deep depression that followed—Coach Pitino shares his Rebound Rules, demonstrating how he emerged wiser and rose to new heights with a richer perspective on life and work…and how you can, too.

Rebound Rules offers the playbook for any comeback:

• Leadership Under Pressure: Learn from Pitino’s highest-stakes games and biggest professional setbacks, including his unsuccessful tenure with the Boston Celtics.
• A Framework for Resilience: Discover the “Rebound Rules,” a concrete model for turning professional failure and devastating personal loss into a source of strength and perspective.
• Building Team Chemistry: Understand the formula for a winning team—on the court or in the office—by cultivating passion, hunger, and drive in yourself and others.
• Gaining Perspective from Tragedy: A deeply personal look at how the coach processed profound grief after the 9/11 attacks and emerged with a new definition of what truly matters.

The only coach in college history to lead three different schools to the Final Four, Rick Pitino is a basketball icon. He is an NCAA champion and a bestselling author, but Pitino's journey has not been without life-altering adversity, including the devastating loss of his infant son, Daniel, and the death of his brother-in-law and best friend in the World Trade Center attacks of 9/11.

In his new book, Pitino is more deeply personal, more inspiring, more practical, and more powerful than ever before. More than a comeback story, Rebound Rules is a manual for overcoming life's difficulties and resetting your worldview for a fresh start, written by one of the sporting world's most innovative and dynamic leaders.
