Critics Review
“How do you reach your highest potential? Ric Bucher answers that question with terrific insight and purpose. Coachable is for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who understand that growth doesn’t happen alone. Be coachable. Accept help. Allow yourself to get better.”
—Mike Krzyzewski, five-time NCAA Champion, four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and former head coach, U.S. Military Academy, Duke University, and USA Basketball
“A unique, impactful, and long-overdue book that draws on decades of reporting to explain what really distinguishes the great ones: knowing that others often see us more clearly than we do. While Bucher uses sports as his canvas, the lessons in these pages can be applied to any business that relies on teams and teamwork.”
—Sam Walker, author of The Captain Class
“To get the best out of a group, leadership, collaboration, sacrifice, and empowerment are essential. Coachable does a great job clarifying the elements of the puzzle that will help individuals and teams reach their full potential.”
—Steve Nash, two-time NBA MVP, eight-time All-Star, and former coach of the Brooklyn Nets
“Ric Bucher has written an essential book—a blueprint for anyone who wants to find the 2 percent difference that makes greatness.”
—Sally Jenkins, author of The Right Call
“Coachable is rooted in the belief that improvement is a shared journey. After 18 years in the NBA, I’ve seen firsthand that the best players—and the best leaders—are the ones who remain teachable. Embrace guidance. Growth never stops.”
—Kevin Love, NBA Champion and five-time NBA All-Star
“The stories in Coachable contain the secrets to success for anyone looking to maximize their potential.”
—Rick Carlisle, two-time NBA Champion and coach of the Indiana Pacers
