Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari
On giving a recent book to Nate Sestina …
“It’s funny. I give them a lot of books. Then I ask them, ‘Did you read this?’ I’m trying to get them to understand that they leave us and if I can leave them with one thing, it’s read. Tweak your mind. Be curious. Most of the stuff I give them is what I think is pertinent to them. So sometimes it’s a parable. In that form it’s easier for them to read. That book wasn’t. I told him he needed to read it because there was a girl that was a college player that got injured and then kind of got demoralized when she wasn’t playing well, and then how she built herself back and how she ended up having a great year.
