BOOK LIST FOR LEADERS

I'm sure most of you are like me and love to catch up on your reading during the off season. It is a proven fact that people who read are smarter and more intelligent than those that don't. Obviously it helps us become better coaches, leaders, teachers, moms, dads, husbands, wives, etc. I recieved a book list for leaders from Coach Don Meyer a few years ago. I have listed some of those books as well as a few other that I have enjoyed. Feel free to send me the names of any of your favorite books. I am always looking! sguillory1@mcneese.edu
