Just started reading it--great read so far. He wrote the book because a 2009 article he wrote for ESPN became locker room fodder for countless teams across the country. I've attached the article. Link: bilas_toughness.pdf (282.59 KB) |

Not a huge fan of Bilas, but a good read.
I like the fact that I've seen a number of those attributes in Iona players the past few years - success isn't an accident.

IMO....Teaching will improve ''skills''......No amount of teaching will improve ''toughness''.......They come from different pods.............

Could just as easily called the book "Cheapness" or more accurately "Cheap Shots"
